Fire Marshal Division
Like
most Fire Marshal Divisions in the United States the Fire Marshal Division of
the Brighton Area Fire Department is charged with fire prevention code
enforcement as well as fire investigation to determine origin and cause. The
Brighton Area Fire Marshal Division is responsible for this enforcement in three
communities within our response district including, City of Brighton, Charter
Township of Brighton, and Genoa Township.
The
primary goal of the Brighton Area Fire Marshal Division is to work with local
building and planning departments as well as selected contractors during the
planning and construction stages of commercial/industrial, manufacturing and
retail facilities to ensure that new buildings provide a safe environment for
employees, customers and material/merchandise suppliers upon completion of
construction.
Fire
code enforcement is the primary responsibility of the Brighton Area Fire Marshal
Division and one that is taken very seriously as the safety of our citizens and
area visitors alike depend on it if our community is to grow and prosper. For
these reasons, fire code inspections of commercial/industrial, manufacturing and
retail businesses are conducted year round by two full-time fire inspectors.
The
Brighton Area Fire Marshal Division has also worked with several residential
builders and contractors during the design, development and construction phase
for new homes being built in our community in an effort to better meet the needs
of homeowners and at the same time keep fire safety at the forefront of building
construction in our community.
In
addition to fire code enforcement, the Brighton Area Fire Marshal Division is
responsible for fire investigations within our fire district. Every confirmed
fire within our fire district is investigated for origin and cause of fire,
either by a paid-on-call fire officer on the scene or the Fire Marshal Division
staff.
Residents in our community that would like to receive information on home fire
safety, smoke alarms, station tours, etc. are encouraged to contact us. Our
inspectors and staff encourage residents to check their smoke alarms monthly and
ask that they have an exit plan in place for their family.
If
you have any additional questions, comments or suggestions we can be reached at
the address listed below.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Fire Marshal Michael O'Brian
