Fire Permit Guide and Application

                  
One of the methods used by Fire Departments to track special events is a Fire Permit process. Permits provides the Fire Department with information on what, where, when and how and event will take place and allows the fire official to review and approve devices, safeguards and procedures that may be needed to assure a safe event. The California Fire Code requires the issuance of a Fire Permit prior to engaging in any of the following activities, operations, practices or functions:

  • Candles and Open Flames in Assembly Areas
  • Carnivals and Fairs
  • Compressed gases, storage or use
  • Filming for Motion Picture and Television
  • Liquid-or gas-fueled vehicles or equipment in assembly buildings
  • Parade Floats
  • Operation of a Public Assembly
  • Pyrotechnic Special Effects
  • Tents, Canopies or Membrane Structures
