If the tent is greater than 900 square feet or more than 30 feet in any dimension, a permit must be obtained from the Fire Official.

2. I received a fire code violation and do not understand the violations. Who can I call?

The name of the inspector is on the front sheet of the violation paperwork. Call our office at 609-799-0909, ext. 2545 and ask to speak with the inspector.

3. The Inspector came at a busy time. Can I request a convenient time for him/her to return?

Yes. Explain to the inspector that it is not a good time to conduct the inspection and come to a mutually agreeable time that will work for everyone.

4. What can I expect from a fire inspection?

The inspector will need access to the entire property. A representative may be requested to accompany the inspector to provide access to locked areas. When violations are found, they will be noted and explained. Adequate time will be given to correct the violations before another inspection occurs.
