Division 2

Welcome to the Denver Fire Department Fire Prevention Division

The Fire Prevention Division is dedicated to safeguarding the lives, property, and environment of Denver through proactive fire safety education, inspection, enforcement, and planning. Serving one of the fastest growing and most vibrant cities in the United States, our division plays a critical role in ensuring that Denver’s homes, businesses, and public spaces meet the highest standards of fire and life safety.

Our team is comprised of 80 dedicated professionals, 50 uniformed members and 26 civilian staff who bring a wide range of expertise to fire prevention efforts. With a certification compliance rate of 98%, we pride ourselves on maintaining the highest levels of professionalism, knowledge, and service.

We work in close collaboration with residents, developers, business owners, and other city agencies to uphold the City and County of Denver’s fire code and to reduce the risk of fire through education and engineering. Our team reviews building and development plans, conducts on-site inspections, issues permits, investigates fire hazards, and provides expert guidance to help our community stay safe and resilient.

As part of the Denver Fire Department, our mission is rooted in service, safety, and community partnership. Whether you're building a new facility, planning an event, or simply seeking information to keep your family safe, the Fire Prevention Division is here to support you.

Together, we can build a safer Denver—one inspection, permit, and prevention effort at a time.
