Fire Prevention

The Fire Marshal's office plays a pivotal role in maintaining the department's safety mission and strives to develop proactive risk management awareness through plan reviews, fire inspections, code enforcement, and public education. The Fire Marshal's office is also responsible for fire investigations. 

​

Inspections

The department is responsible for conducting fire and life safety inspections for all new commercial construction projects,  existing commercial properties, and sprinklered residential structures.  All existing commercial businesses within the City of Krum are inspected annually. 

​

Plan Review

The Fire Marshal reviews commercial and residential plans to ensure compliance with the 2018 International Fire Code, NFPA standards, and adopted amendments, all of which are approved by the Krum City Council. This includes concept, site, and building plans, as well as fire protection and life safety systems.

 

After the Fire 

While the prevention of fires and accidents remains the priority of the Fire Department, fires inevitably do occur. When that happens, the Fire Marshal is responsible for conducting the investigation to determine the origin and cause of the fire with the assistance of the Denton County Fire Marshal's Office.
