Prevention
The Fire Prevention Bureau is an important part of the fire service. Our job is to prevent fires and mitigate emergencies before they happen. We do this through education, inspections and investigations.
Education: The Immokalee Fire Prevention bureau provides fire safety education to the public; weather its fire extinguisher training, fire safety in the workplace or going to the schools and events around town providing information to kids and adults alike.
Inspections: By conducting inspections in new construction and existing buildings, we ensure the safety of the public that may visit your business and the firefighters that may be called upon in an emergency.
Investigations: After a fire has been extinguished, we perform a fire investigation into the origin and cause of a fire. The information gathered at the fire scene can be used to catch an arsonist or to add to our knowledge to help educate the public as to what not to do to keep their homes and business safe.
