It is the mission of the Fire Prevention Bureau to reduce the loss of life, health property and environmental quality through reducing the number of fires and hazardous materials incidents and determining the cause of those events that do occur.

Fire Prevention activities are carried out by a 9 member staff consisting of the Fire Marshal, (2) Assistant Fire Marshal, (4) Fire Inspectors, (1) Administrative Assistant and (1) Office Assistant.

The Fire Prevention Bureau uses several programs to achieve its mission and goals:

• New Construction and Tenant Improvement Plan Check and Inspection
• Annual Fire Inspection
• Complaints
• Weed Abatement
• Juvenile Fire Starter
• Fire and Incident Investigation
• Used Oil Grant

The Fire Department is the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton. This hazardous materials program is integrated with the rest of our fire prevention programs. For more information, inspection forms, informational handouts, etc., choose the Hazardous Materials Program link.
The Fire Prevention Bureau recognizes that we have two main sets of customers:

1. The public whose interests we safeguard through our programs
2. The contractors, architects, and business people who are working to complete projects

It is our goal to provide excellent customer service to both these customer groups though effective, professional and timely implementation of our programs.
