Message From The Chief
Welcome to the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention's website. Our office is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community through comprehensive fire safety inspections, extensive fire prevention education, and effective fire code enforcement. As the Chief of the Bureau, I am proud to lead a team of highly trained professionals who work diligently to protect lives and property in Toms River.
Our workload is widespread and varied, encompassing everything from inspecting residential and commercial properties to reviewing building plans and investigating fire incidents. Each year, we conduct thousands of inspections to ensure compliance with fire safety codes and standards. Our team also engages with the community through educational programs, fire drills, and public outreach initiatives to raise awareness about fire safety practices.
Safety is our top priority. We strive to provide residents, visitors and businesses with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent fires and respond effectively in case of an emergency. Simple actions, such as regularly testing smoke alarms, creating and practicing a fire escape plan, and staying informed about fire hazards, can make a significant difference in protecting your family and property.
We are committed to maintaining a positive relationship with the public and encourage open communication and collaboration.
Our website is designed to be a resource for all your fire safety needs, offering information on fire prevention, safety tips, and how to schedule inspections or obtain permits. We are here to serve you and are always available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your commitment to fire safety. Together, we can make Toms River a safer place for everyone.
Stay safe,
