Local Registration Form
Dear Local Registrant;
Ordinance #89-10 extends the coverage of the State Fire Safety Act to include all buildings in the Township except owner occupied one and two family dwellings. Under this ordinance your building will be registered and inspected by the Bureau of Fire Prevention. Our Bureau of Fire Prevention is staffed by specially trained and licensed members of the Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department. Think of it as an opportunity for you to get some sound advice and seriously think about how you can make your building more fire safe. This process will also lead to a more professional and safer response to fire emergencies in your building, as the local fire department is kept apprised of any special problems your property may pose. I hope this gives you more insight on what ordinance #89-10 is about. Remember the key to fire safety is fire prevention.
