The Fire Prevention
Bureau enforces all the state and local codes involving
fire safety and prevention, reviews all plans for construction
of all commercial dwellings, annual inspection of public
facilities, inspection of new underground and above ground
tanks and monitors any public event involving fireworks.
The Athens Fire Department,
in an effort to better educate the public about fire safety,
will present fire safety programs to any group wishing to
better their knowledge. These programs are available to
schools, industries, and civic groups.
The Fire Prevention
Bureau will also conduct home safety and fireplace inspections.
These inspections are free of charge and available to any
resident in the City of Athens.
Smoke detectors are
also an important part of the Fire Prevention Bureau. The
Athens Fire Department will inspect and assist any resident
with their detectors.
