Welcome to the Bonita Springs Fire Prevention Division!

The District is involved with multi-family residential, commercial, and fire protection system permits by conducting plan review and fire inspections during construction. New construction inspections assure code compliance of individual components of construction throughout the building process. Staff also inspects the installation of fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems in single-family homes. The Fire Prevention Division interacts with developers, builders, architects, engineers, and home owners in the process of applying the Florida Fire Prevention Code to commercial and multi-family residential buildings constructed within the District. The staff performs fire inspections, reinspections, and occupancy permit inspections within the community’s business districts and multi-family housing complexes. Plan review and inspection services are provided for new construction and interior remodeling projects.

A Message From Fire Marshal Janet A. Washburn

It is our goal to partner with the residents of Bonita Springs and business owners to mitigate fires in our beautiful community through a mutual partnership together in community risk reduction.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a state of the art Fire Prevention Division with a focus on customer service and education on community risk reduction. Our staff is highly qualified in fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems, plans examination, and public education programs.

As such, please ensure your home has working smoke alarms in every bedroom and corridors leading to; and consider installing an NFPA 13D home fire sprinkler system to protect yourself and your loved ones. This video offers a great perspective to the consumer on why one should consider installing residential fire sprinklers:
