Town of Hammonton Bureau of Fire Prevention
The best tools for fire prevention are education and preparation. Inspections are conducted at least once a year to ensure that establishments are compliant with enforced codes and standards, that fire risks and hazards are properly handled, and fire departments are well informed on discovered fire hazards.
Conducting regular internal fire safety inspections not only help organizations to be proactive in keeping establishments safe but also stay compliant with fire codes.
