The primary mission of the VRFA Fire Marshal’s Office (FMO) is to create a safe community for our citizens and firefighters through improving building safety, business practices and preventing life safety hazards.
Check the burn ban status and obtain a recreational burn permit. Recreational fires are defined as cooking fires or campfires using firewood or charcoal.
The VRFA conducts risk reduction inspections for businesses to educate occupants on best fire and life safety practices and compliance with the International Fire Code or city code.
Conducting fire investigations is critical to the Fire Marshal Office’s mission by determining cause and origin of fires. This information is used to create safer business practices and prevent future fires.
