It is the mission and
purpose of the Fire Protection program to protect the people and property in Wicomico County from the dangers of destructive
fire, primarily through fire code enforcement and public fire education.
This program consists of a five person staff, one Chief Fire Protection Specialist
who is responsible for the day to day operations relating to the mission under
the direction of the Director of Public Works and three Fire Safety Inspectors
assisting the Chief Fire Protection Specialist and one part time Office
Associate. The program provides full service fire protection review,
inspection and consultation relating to the fire code as well as fire
prevention presentations to elementary school classes and civic groups in the
community. The Chief Fire Protection Specialist is responsible for plans
review of construction documents relating to all types of buildings except for
one and two family dwellings. The purpose of the review is to try to
determine that the plans for a building, fuel tank, dance, concert or other
project or event will be compliant with the Wicomico County Fire Code or fire
code of a municipality in the county. The Chief Fire Protection
Specialist provides these fire protection services to most areas of Wicomico County. Certain projects are
reviewed and inspected by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office,
specifically, all buildings designated as "educational" and
“healthcare” occupancies and those projects which are funded by grants and
funds provided by the State of Maryland.
