Sheffield Village Fire Prevention

Call 911 for emergency fire assistance, 24 hours a day

The Sheffield Village Fire Department provides fire prevention and safety services to all commercial businesses in Sheffield Village. The Fire Prevention Bureau is overseen by our Assistant Fire Chief. Our goal is to visit each occupancy at least once a year to ensure compliance with fire safety requirements and the Ohio Fire Code.   

When feasible, we try to conduct fire company inspections which allow on duty fire crews to accompany a fire safety inspector during the fire inspection.  This allows our firefighters to become familiar with the many businesses and other establishments in our community.  From these inspections we develop planning information (pre-plans) in case of an emergency at the building.  The Fire Prevention Bureau reviews all proposed building plans and are active in the process of plan approvals with the Sheffield Village Building Department. 

Our fire safety inspectors will gladly visit your home and provide a fire safety inspection.  This is strictly a courtesy for our residents, as we have no enforcement rights in one- or two-family dwellings. We will review basic fire prevention practices and offer suggestions to make your home more fire safe, plus review a fire escape plan in the event of an emergency at your home.

The concept behind fire prevention is very simple; we are mainly concerned with occupants of a structure safely evacuating the structure in the event of emergency and minimizing property damage. Next, we are concerned with doing all we can to eliminate the start and spread of fire. Finally, the more we know about your building before an emergency, the better we will be at abating that emergency.
