FIRE PREVENTION

The primary responsibility of any fire department is prevention . We at Napoleon fire department approach fire prevention in three ways . 1) Education. We attempt to educate the public in several ways, programs in the schools, bring the kids to the fire station and public education talks throughout the community . 2) Engineering. We try to get with architects contractors and builders in an attempt to ensure that both new and existing buildings are built and maintained in accordance with all applicable codes . 3) Enforcement. Inspections of existing and new commercial occupancies within the city .
