Fire Prevention

A strong emphasis is placed on fire prevention.  The Fire Marshal's Office and Combat Division are responsible for performing annual inspections and educating residents in preventing fires. It is our belief it is both safer and more economical to prevent a fire from occurring than to have to extinguish a fire.
