fires.
Annual Inspections
Chapter 541 of the Connecticut General Statutes, Section 29-305
states,
"Each local Fire Marshal
Shall
Inspect or cause to be inspected, at least once
each calendar year
and as often as may be
necessary in the interest of public safety,
all buildings and facilities
of public service and
all occupancies regulated by the fire safety code
within his
jurisdiction, except residential buildings designed to be occupied by one or two families
which shall be inspected, upon complaint..."
The office of the Fire Marshal coordinates inspections and maintains records for
each occupancy in Fairfield. Upon inspection, deputy fire marshal's assist owners in
understanding the requirements of the code. Follow up inspections are scheduled when
problems arise during the annual inspection.
When code problems are
discovered during a inspection, the owner will be advised of the problem and
given a specific time to correct the issue. This time varies depending on the
type of violation and the hazard to the public. Failure to correct code
violations can result in prosecution in addition to the risk of causing harm to
workers and the public in the event of a fire due to the hazard.
