Since it's inauguration in 1846, the Fire Prevention Bureau, located at the central station, is responsible for carrying out three main functions:

• Public Education,
• Code Enforcement,
• Fire Investigation.
  • In order to achieve the goal of fire safety within the community, the staff of the Fire Prevention Bureau must work with several other city agencies, such as the Police Department and the Building Department (City Codes etc).
