From the Office of the Fire Marshal

Welcome

 

Fire Prevention is the most effective means for reducing loss due to fire. The diligent practice of fire safety habits, along with common sense can reduce the number of fire related incidents. 

The Fire Prevention Division employs a Fire Marshal that is certified by the State of Missouri as Fire Inspector and Investigator. The Fire Marshal is responsible for plan review, new construction inspections, occupancy inspections, and issuance of permits. The fire crews perform annual inspections on commercial occupancies, educational occupancies, assembly occupancies, as well as special occupancies. All new and re-constructed commercial buildings require a permit from the Fire Prevention Division. Construction documents are reviewed and approved by the Fire Prevention Division prior to inspections. Framing, ceiling cover, and final inspections are made prior to occupancy of any permitted construction project. Permits are also issued for fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and other types of fire suppression systems. See the section below for a link to our permit application. You can fill out and email the permit  application  to the Fire Marshal or stop by the office at 6 S. Church St.   If you have any questions please contact the Fire Marshal at 573-468-6161 or sfpdfiremarshal@gmail.com .
