Fire and Life Safety Division

The Fire and Life Safety Division, through commitment and dedication to our Town and community in which we provide services, fights fire through fire prevention, education and enforcement.  Our Fire and Life Safety Division accomplishes this through fire inspections, fire education, fire investigations, fire plan review, and community relations through risk reduction. This helps our town for those that live, work, shop, worship, and play, the ability to ensure they are safe through the use of fire sprinklers, fire alarms and education and ensuring our buildings are built and maintained to protect our citizens and those visiting Castle Rock.   

The Town of Castle Rock Building and Fire Codes are periodically updated and adopted by local ordinance and are enforceable by law. The provisions of the code shall apply to the construction, alteration, movement, enlargement, replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal and demolition of every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or structures.

The purpose of the fire code in Town is to establish minimum requirements consistent with nationally recognized good practices for providing a reasonable level of life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion, or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures, and premises.

Our investigators have dedicated themselves with ongoing training from the National Fire Academy and from other states. This commitment to this skill set helps protect our community in finding the cause and origin of fires to address what needs might be needed to change in the codes or to help prosecute those committing the crime of arson.
