FIRE INDUSTRY BULLETIN 2025-002
SCOPE
Upcoming changes to the construction document submittal process to the City of Fresno
Fire Department (FFD or Department).
PURPOSE
The purpose of this industry bulletin is to provide information to industry partners related
to upcoming changes in the direct submittal of construction documents to the Department.
BACKGROUND
As noted in the California Fire Code (CFC), the fire code official has the authority to
formulate policies they deem necessary based upon local conditions related to the
submission of construction documents and permit requirements.
INFORMATION
Beginning in late August 2025, permit applicants may notice changes to the ACA interface
as FFD begins to test the transition to an all-electronic construction document and permit
application process. This process is not yet complete.
If your firm has not been invited to participate in this testing process, you are required to
continue to utilize the existing process used for all construction document submittals and
permit applications.
Once testing has been completed and the Department is ready to implement new
procedures for all submittals, an industry bulletin will be distributed to all industry partners
with FFD’s updated process.
If you have any issue, questions, or concerns, please contact our office at Fire-
PlanReview@Fresno.Gov.
NOTE
This bulletin is effective August 6, 2025
