MONROE COUNTY, FL – The Monroe County Fire Marshal’s Office is performing free Fire and Life Safety Inspections for commercial properties in unincorporated Monroe County until Oct. 1, 2021. The inspections include fire alarm and monitoring systems, exit signage, fire extinguishers, fire sprinkler systems, fire pumps, and fire suppression systems, among other things. Some businesses, like vacation rentals and daycares, require these annual inspections for licensure. But, starting on Oct. 1, all commercial businesses in unincorporated Monroe County will require an annual Fire and Life Safety Inspection. There are currently no fees associated with Fire and Life Safety Inspections; however, after Oct. 1, fees will be charged for these inspections. Once the inspection is completed, property owners will be provided with information to correct any fire hazards, if necessary.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections and pre-fire planning are part of the County’s Fire Prevention Program focused on the welfare and safety of the public while minimizing potential fire and life safety hazards.
