The Bedford Fire Department Prevention Division provides the town with fire code enforcement based on the NFPA Life Safety Code.
Mission
Our mission is to provide inspections on all commercial properties within the town every year. The main focus of this work is in code analysis, review, and judicious enforcement.
Functions
Other functions of the bureau focus on plan reviews for specific types of life safety early warning systems, including sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, hood extinguishment systems, clean agent systems, above and below ground tank installations and removals. We also handle complaints by citizens of potential fire life safety hazards.
Fire Safety Education
Additionally, the Fire Prevention Bureau offers fire safety education materials and assistance to schools, day care centers, hospitals, block clubs, businesses and other groups.
