The Fire Prevention Department oversees fire safety rules and inspections to ensure buildings are safe. We manage fire code enforcement, inspections, and records. Our team also reviews fire protection plans for buildings and works with other inspectors to make sure everything meets safety standards. We carry out inspections for occupancy certificates and manage programs like Knox Box for faster entry during emergencies. We handle investigations of fires after they are extinguished. Additionally, we supervise Fire Marshals, and handle public affairs related to fire safety in Allentown.

If you have a complaint related to fire safety issues such as overcrowding, improper storage of flammable products, or fire egress, you can contact the Fire Marshal's office 24/7  at (610) 437-7788.
