Fire Code Enforcement
The Fire Code Enforcement branch conducts fire safety inspections of all types of occupied buildings, except one- and two-
family homes and manufactured housing, throughout Indiana. These inspected buildings include schools, hospitals, nursing
homes, daycare centers, correctional facilities, restaurants, hotels, motels and stores. All of these buildings must be
incompliance with the Indiana Fire Prevention Code and other Indiana fire safety laws. There are approximately 40,000 of these
occupied buildings around the state.
There are 20 field inspectors, three field supervisors and a chief inspector in the branch. Each field inspector has a
specific geographical territory. A territory may cover 10 counties, or just one-half of a county as big as Marion County,
depending on the number and complexity of the buildings that must be inspected within that territory. The inspection of a
small building may take as little as 30 minutes, while the inspection of a hospital or correctional facility may take as many
as four days.
All Indiana festivals must adhere to the code. Click here for additional information on tents and canopies
