Fire Safety Inspections

The Marquette City Fire Department enforces the NFPA Life Safety Code and references the NFPA standards. The code and standards apply to new construction, remodeling, and existing buildings. They provide minimum requirements for the design, operation, and maintenance of buildings for safety to life from fire. The codes and standards are also applied to festivals utilizing large tents, cooking equipment, and fireworks displays. Inspections are made on an annual basis for businesses that require a City license to operate. These include hotels, rooming houses, theaters, and secondhand dealers. Inspections are also made when a State Liquor License is applied for or modified. Plan reviews are made when a permit for new construction or remodeling is applied for and/or there is a change in use of the building.
