PRESCOTT FIRE DEPARTMENT
Dear Business Owner / Manager:
The Prescott Fire Department has reinstated its Business Self-Inspection program. The program
is free of charge and is designed for the general business that has a low-hazard potential for fire
and life safety concerns. The primary occupancies targeted for this program are office buildings,
barber shops, etc.
The self-inspection program will allow these low-hazard businesses to be inspected by you, the
owner or manager, on a 24-month inspection cycle. We hope that by allowing you to identify
and eliminate common fire hazards, we will encourage you to continue to maintain a fire-safe
environment for your business without a visit from the Fire Department every two years.
In order to make our self-inspection program successful; we want to make it as user friendly as
possible. By following the simple instructions you will be able to conduct a fire safety
inspection of your building at your convenience. As always, if you have any questions or need
help with your self-inspection, the Fire Department is available to answer questions. You may
reach a Fire Inspector at (928) 777-1760. If needed, we will be happy to come to your business
and assist you.
With your support and cooperation, we can make the City of Prescott a safer community for all
of us, with less interruption and inconvenience for everyone.
Sincerely,
Eric Kriwer
Fire Marshal
