Fire and Life Safety Inspections in Local Businesses

The Burney Fire Protection District has adopted a program to improve our annual Fire and Life Safety Inspections at all

commercial properties within the Fire District. The Board of Commissioners voted to adopt the 2007 California Fire

Code in it’s entirety as of March 20, 2010. These inspections are designed to ensure that businesses and commercial

occupancies are compliant with this Code. The Fire District considers Fire and Life Safety Inspections at these types of

occupancies to be a benefit to the owners/operators, their tenants and guests, and are an important part of fire

prevention. They not only protect life and property, but may also protect economic interests. By preventing or reducing

losses, the community can help contain the cost of insurance and may help businesses avoid financial disasters

stemming from fires.

Battalion Chief, Fire Prevention

I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our

website and hope that you enjoy it and that you find

some useful information here.

I began my employment with the Burney Fire Protection

District in March of 2010. I come to Eastern Shasta

County with 14 years of Fire Service experience and am

excited to be working with the men and women of the

Burney Fire District.

 

In addition to assisting the Fire Chief with the operations

of the Fire District and providing Duty Officer coverage,

my primary assignment is in Fire Prevention. My duties

include: Fire and Life Safety Inspections, Fire and Arson

Investigation, Public Education, and Pre-Fire Planning. We have the pleasure of working closely with

neighboring fire districts, Cal Fire, and the US Forestry Service with one goal in mind – to provide the

citizens of the area with the best level of protection possible.

This web site is just one more convenient way to communicate with us. We want to be accessible and

helpful, and look forward to hearing from you.

IS YOUR NUMBER UP?

If you have an emergency in your home or business, we can’t help you…if we can’t find

you. When you call 911 to request assistance, a vital piece of information is your address.

However, it is important that you have your numerical address visible so that emergency

vehicles responding to your aid will be able to reach the scene in a timely manner. In most

areas the numerical addresses for each building should be at least 3 inches in height and

readily visible from the roadway. It is also very helpful if the numbers are reflective so they

are visible at night. By posting your home or business numbers, you will be helping us help

you without unnecessary delays.
