Fire inspections are conducted for the safety of occupants, the community, and emergency personnel.

Fire district personnel assist business owners and contractors in obtaining fire code requirement compliance to protect life, property, and the environment and reduce the risk at the scene of an emergency incident.

The fire district enforces the current adopted edition of the California Fire Code, Chino Valley Fire District Standards, other applicable state codes, local ordinances, and applicable NFPA Standards.

The fire district charges for inspections conducted by community risk reduction personnel and for any required fire code operational permit(s). An invoice is sent to the business after compliance is achieved. Fees are assessed for services provided in accordance with the California Fire Code and the district’s adopted Master Fee Schedule.

Construction-related inspection costs are included in the permit fees. If additional inspections are conducted due to negligence or required follow-up, the associated fee(s) are outlined in the district’s adopted Master Fee Schedule for said services. You can view the schedule in the downloadable documents area below.
