Fire Prevention
Business Owner/Manager Information
This section of our web site is designed to provide owner / managers with basic information that will help them comply with the Florida Fire Prevention Code, and to understand the fire code enforcement process.
The St. Johns County Fire Rescue Department provides local enforcement of
the Florida Fire Prevention Code, as mandated by Chapter
633 of the Florida
Statutes. The specific requirements are found in Chapter 69A of the Florida
Administrative Code, especially Chapter
69A-60.
Certain occupancy types, such as day-care centers and public schools, are required by Florida Statutes to have an annual fire inspection. Chapter 69A-60 requires that all other occupancies receive periodic inspections by the local enforcement authority. To meet this requirement the St. Johns County Fire Rescue Department performs fire safety inspections using both full-time fire inspectors, and firefighters who are cross-trained as fire inspectors.
