| Fire Prevention Bureau |
The Bedford Park Fire Prevention Bureau was established in 1979 with its main purpose
focusing on protecting property from fire or explosion. The current code used is the
International Fire Prevention Code 2006 edition with amendments and the 2006 edition of the
N.F.P.A. Life Safety Code. We use the ASME Safety Code for elevators, 2004 edition. We
also reference all current N.F.P.A. Standards.
Fire Prevention Bureau along with the Building Inspector reviews all new construction,
remodeling and sprinkler and fire alarm systems. Meetings take place every Thursday
morning for reviews. Reviews are on a first come first serve basis and usually turn around in
3-4 weeks.
The bureau is responsible for inspections and complete enforcement of the Fire Prevention
Code, Village Ordinances, maintenance of records and investigation of cause and origins of
fire within the village.
Buildings located within the village boundaries are routinely inspected. If violations are found,
the company is given 30 days to correct such violations. After 30 days re-inspection occurs.
If the violation still is not corrected, an additional 15 days will be given. After the 15 day
period if the violation is still not corrected or an extension of time requested, a citation will be
issued.
