Fire Prevention Bureau inspections and fire safety education

How it works

Livingston Parish Fire Protection District 4 created a Fire Prevention Bureau in 2019 to assist the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office with code compliance and to provide public fire safety education. The bureau leads public fire prevention activities, inspections, and investigations, and it says inspections are conducted on an annual basis.

What the service covers

The page says the district provides:

• Fire and life safety inspections
• Free smoke alarms
• Fire safety education
• Community outreach programs
• Fire safety presentations and training sessions for groups of all ages
• A Fire Smoke House used for education and demonstrations
• Fire safety and prevention resources, including tips and seasonal safety guidance

Who it is for

The district says the program is aimed at Livingston Parish residents, as well as property owners and businesses served by LPFPD4. The inspection language specifically says the process helps proprietors and property owners identify what is needed to comply with code requirements.

Timing and deadlines

• Inspections are conducted annually.
• All inspections are at no charge.
• Inspections can be scheduled during normal business hours.
