The Fire Marshal's Office is responsible for all inspections including but not limited to fire sprinkler, fire alarm, kitchen hood suppression, fire finals, tenant finish out, above and underground storage tanks, state-mandated inspections, and annual inspections of existing businesses.
Guidelines:
If you are conducting annual fire protection systems tests, a fire inspector does not need to be present. Be sure the system is on "test mode" to avoid false alarm calls to our 911 dispatch. Fire protection companies are required to submit ALL inspection and service reports to the Compliance Engine.
Under certain circumstances outdoor burning is permitted. Recreational fires are permitted without a permit. Recreational fires are defined as fires where the fuel source is 3ftx2ft or smaller. Please see the outdoor burning guidelines. The Fire Marshal's Office may issue a burn permit that allows citizens to conduct open burning within the city limits. Information regarding Active burn bans, Forecasted Fire Danger and Drought Index can be found below. Click each diagram for an updated map from the Texas A&M Forest Service.
