Fire Prevention Staff
The Waltham Fire Prevention Team is comprised of one Deputy Chief and three Lieutenants who staff the office at 175 Lexington Street five days a week (Monday-Friday 6:30am-4:30pm). These officers have received special training and certification on arson investigation, building plan review, fire prevention laws and codes, and fire education. Other WFD fire fighters and officers are assigned to assist Fire Prevention from time-to-time, especially with our fire education efforts. We have many fire and life safety education instructors that have completed special Massachusetts Fire Fighting Academy courses in the subject. Additionally, Fire Department personnel often work details to help ensure compliance with fire laws and codes. Front-line fire companies also assist with various smoke detector and commercial property inspections, as well as quarterly inspections mandated by State Law. |
