Fire Department > Prevention

What do you know about fire prevention? Did you know that fire kills more Americans than all other natural disasters combined, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. 75% of the annual 5,000 fire deaths occur in the home, and nearly $9 billion is lost in property damages.

We here at the Valparaiso Fire Department are constantly striving to ensure the health and safety of you and your family. Our department provides public safety education, and is responsible for enforcement of all City and State fire codes, including plan review and inspection services. We strive to prevent fires through community awareness programs, such as open houses, presentations at local schools, and this website.
