FIRE PREVENTION

Inspections
The Fort Thomas Fire Department performs car seat, fire safety, life safety, and occupancy inspections of businesses, multi-family dwellings and places of assembly in the city of Fort Thomas. Also, burn permits are issued after an inspection of compliance to private citizens for the burning of brush.

March 14, 2010 is the first Daylight Savings Time Change for the year. As part of the time change the fire department and the International Association of Fire Chiefs encourage residents to "Change Your clock, Change your Battery".

Inspection of facilities plays an important role in the safety of our residents. These inspections ensure that exits are kept available, protection devices will operate and alarm systems will sound to enhance evacuation.
