Fire Prevention Bureau
Accountable to: Fire Marshal
Performance metrics in this section target strategic goals and objectives regarding community
risk reduction and efficiency of comprehensive service delivery. This measures points involving
inspections, pre-plans, and education hours of staff. These measurements are important for our
residents because they provide information on safety compliances among our business
community. Additionally, they indicate the anticipated timeline for initial inspections. The
District’s Fire Inspectors are responsible for compiling these metrics and they are accountable to
the Fire Marshal.
*Compliance Rate: The District has determined that for the Fire Prevention Bureau to function
successfully and ensure safe conditions for District residents, a stable benchmark for compliance
rate after initial inspection is 70%. Consequently, the Bureau focuses on meeting this benchmark
at the end of Q4, when all annual inspections must be completed. Furthermore, because of the
way in which compliance rate is calculated, with multiple failed inspections all counting against
compliance rate, the District projects that monthly compliance by business is approximately 8085%.
*Annual Inspections: This number will vary year to year as some occupancies are combined, or
as new occupancies are added to the District. Additionally, the ratio is often over 100% because
of requested re-inspections.
*Pre-Plans: After making dedicated efforts to ensure all occupancies and target hazards within
the District had functional pre-plans, the Fire Prevention Bureau now only has to create pre-plans
for new construction or occupancies with new additions. The remaining pre-plans are reviewed
and analyzed for any necessary adjustments. As a result, the number of pre-plans documented
each year will be different. For example, there were 305 businesses and target hazards in FY24,
and another 1,040 residential pre-plans that were amended to include information that reflects
rural operational policies for the District. In FY23, there were approximately 280 commercial
occupancies and target hazards, but the District reviewed, improved, or created 948 pre-plans. In
