WELCOME

The multi-faceted mission of the Division of Fire Safety is to protect the public and the fire service with coordinated efforts in code enforcement, fire service training, public education, hazardous materials and incident investigation thereby reducing the loss of life and property due to fire and other emergencies in the State of Vermont.

The Division of Fire Safety provides a number of services related to the safety of residents and guests of the State. The Division has four regional offices located in: Barre, Rutland, Springfield and Williston, the Vermont Fire Academy and training site located in Pittsford, and the Main Office located in Berlin.

Each regional office provides review of construction documents, permitting, inspections, safety education and training, data management, product or site investigation and response to emergencies.

The Fire Academy provides training, certification, data management and training resources for the fire service, and support of the Fire Service Training Council.

The main office provides support for the regional offices, the Fire Academy, and the State Hazmat Team. The main office is also involved with data management for the National Fire Incident Reporting System, certification of technically qualified people for specialty trades, technical assistance, appeals, administrative orders and penalties, fire safety education, technical training, public outreach and support for the Access Board.
