FIRE INDUSTRY BULLETIN 2021-001
SCOPE
This industry bulletin is intended for all companies within the fire industry that require
scheduled field inspections with Fire Prevention staff.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the fire industry of the new procedure regarding
requests for scheduling three (3) or more new construction appointments within a single
request.
BACKGROUND
Due to the volume of inspections being requested and the shortage of support staff
available to handle the numerous phone calls received by the Department on a daily
basis, the Department has determined the need to modify the procedures for requesting
multiple new construction appointments.
Effective immediately, when requesting three (3) or more new construction inspections,
an email shall be sent to Fire-Construction@fresno.gov. The email shall include the fire
permit number, address, name and number of the person meet ing the inspector on site,
the type of inspection being requested and a preferred date. Emails will be handled on a
first come, first serve basis. As with our current procedures, a confirmation email will be
sent once the appointment has been scheduled.
This notice is effective on March 16, 2021.
