Welcome to the City of Perris Fire Marshal’s Office (OFM). The city partners with CAL FIRE Riverside County Fire Department to provide fire rescue services, respond to traffic accidents, and provide emergency medical assistance. The Fire Marshal’s Office is committed to ensuring fire prevention services for the community.

We believe the best way to protect life, and property is through community education and the enforcement of state and local codes. Our goal is to provide the highest level of life safety for each home, workplace, and special events throughout the city.

The City of Perris Office of the Fire Marshal enforces the current editions of the California Code of Regulations, Titles 24. This includes the California Fire Code, California Building Code, and California Residential Code.

ANNUAL INSPECTION PROGRAM

Annual Inspection Program

The City of Perris Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for preventing fires and saving lives and property. An effective way to meet this obligation is to conduct Annual field inspections in accordance with section 103.3 of the California Fire Code.

The Fire Code / Permit Inspection program developed by the Fire Marshal’s Office enhances the life safety environment of the City of Temecula by ensuring all businesses meet fire code requirements. This program affects all occupancies subject to fire code regulations. The goal of the program is to reduce the number of deaths, injuries, and property losses in the city resulting from fire.

What to Expect

A Fire Inspector may inspect your business from the fire Marshal’s Office

If fire code violations are found, an inspector will issue a written Fire & Life Safety Inspection Notice and schedule a re-inspection to confirm that the violations have been corrected.

Most violations must be corrected within 10-15 days.

Getting Your Fire Protection Equipment Serviced

If you need your fire protection equipment serviced (fire extinguishers, fire sprinkler system, cooking hood system, fire alarm, etc.), you should make sure that you use a reputable fire protection service company.

The City of Perris does not recommend or endorse any fire protection service providers. To help in identifying a qualified fire protection service company:

Before work begins:

Do a background check on the fire inspection company.
Ask what the service will include and how much it will cost before the inspection starts.
Get a written agreement before the service starts.

When the work is done:

Request the service leave any defective parts that were replaced or changed.
Request a signed invoice.

Special considerations:

Before servicing or repairing the fire sprinkler system, request to see their California State Fire Marshal C-16 license issued by the California Contractors State License Board.
Before any electrical work or repairs, request to see their California State Electrical C-10 license issued by the California Contractors State License Board.
