Fire Suppression Plans
Plans for many new development projects must be approved by the Fire Marshal during the review process. The processes in each fire district are different. It can be confusing to determine the right person to talk to about a project and to find the right place to submit plans. This document is intended to assist applicants in finding the right fire official to talk to about their project and where to submit fire suppression plans.

You will be contacted directly via e-mail within 24 - 48 hours upon receiving your e-mail submittal to inform you of your plan status. If you do not get a reply from our office within 24-48 hours, that means your e-mail submittal is not received.

Bring these hard copies to our office for the wet County Fire stamp and signature. Only print the plans and calcs from the approved email packet attachments you receive from our office, any other version/s will not be accepted. If the hard copies you bring for stamping have been tampered with or is not the exact plan that was reviewed/approved and e-mailed to you originating from our office, it will not be stamped.
