Contact: Fire Chief
The City of Watertown Fire Department will be conducting the Annual Fire and Safety
Inspection of buildings within the City of Watertown.
Crews will be looking at the exterior of residential homes for unsafe structural
components, ie stairs and chimneys, as well as the storage of trash and debris. Business
building inspections consist of not only the items listed for residential occupancies, but an
interior inspection of fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers, alarm systems), electrical and
heating equipment, as well as safe egress from the structure.
This practice of conducting inspections, utilizing the New York State Fire Code as a
guide, assists the owner or operator of buildings in keeping their facilities safe and promotes
the prevention of fires.
For further information, please contact our Fire Prevention staff at 315-785-7809.
