Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS Fire Marshal’s Office

The Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS Fire Prevention Division/Fire Marshal’s Office is located in Lincoln Center at 494 Main St. Staff members include the Fire Marshal, a Deputy Fire Marshal and one Fire Inspector, trained and certified by the State of Connecticut as Fire Inspectors and Fire Investigators, and a full-time Administrative Assistant.

The division is responsible for the enforcement of applicable CT General Statutes, the Connecticut State Fire Safety Code (CSFSC), the Connecticut State Fire Prevention Code (CSFPC), and local ordinances as they pertain to occupancy types and property use. Through plan review and the inspection/abatement process, we assist property owners to achieve compliance with those codes.

The Fire Marshal’s Office regulates the issuance of permits to qualified CT license holders for the use, transportation, and storage of explosives within the city, to assure compliance with State Explosives Regulations. This includes site inspections of all fireworks and special effects displays within the city. Special amusements, tents, and other portable structures used for special events and/or assembly purposes are inspected as necessary.

The Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for investigating the origin, cause, and circumstance of all fires and explosions within the city. Data is collected and results are used to track trends for future prevention activities, and to refer criminal acts for prosecution.
