2020 Fire Prevention Initiatives
COVID Updates - Services During the Pandemic and Re-Opening
The Fire Marshal's Office is providing all services at this time, with some modifications to align with the Governor's Safe Start plan approved for King County. Our employees are following safe worksite guidelines and ask our customers to do so as well at their jobsites. Please note: our walk-in counter at 220 3rd Ave S has limited hours, and we recommend contacting us by email.
To help you prepare for successful inspections and a safe year, we are sharing our upcoming 2020 fire prevention areas of emphasis, including information about a new non-criminal citation program with penalties of $373+.
- Avoiding "false" or preventable alarms is a top priority.
- Ensuring fire alarms, sprinklers, and other systems are properly maintained so they work when you need them.
- Supporting safety in nightlife event venues and "assembly occupancies" for patrons and employees.
Take steps to prepare for your building inspection with Client Assistance Memorandum 5969 - Fire Safety Building Inspections or learn about our code compliance process.
