Risk Reduction

The Risk Reduction Division works together with businesses and the community to reduce risks associated with fire.  We provide information to the community, developers, architects, contractors, and city departments. The enforcement of the International Fire Code, Building Code, and Ordinances of the City of Santa Clara & Ivins protect people and property from dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings.  The risk reduction program is coordinated by Division Chief Con Fulde who advises on both Santa Clara & Ivins technical review committees and assigns routine inspections to fire companies.  The Division Chief also investigates the causes of fire and develops and presents fire prevention education to the public.  As part of our program, we offer Knox key access equipment to businesses for restricted fire department use where immediate access is necessary for lifesaving or fire-fighting purpose.  The key box is approved in accordance with UL1037 and contains keys to gain necessary access as required by the fire code official.  Basic plan review and hydrant inspection and testing are also performed.  If you would like to schedule a fire inspection, please click the link below.
