Org Unit

Fire and Life Safety Division

Our mission is to prevent the loss of life and property from fire and explosion.

We provide comprehensive fire and life safety services for the Central Mat-Su Fire Service Area (FSA), including:

• Fire and life safety plan reviews

• Inspections and code compliance

• Fire prevention programs

• Public education and outreach

All commercial structures within the fire service area where people work, gather, or spend time are subject to plan review, permitting, and annual inspection requirements.

Residential properties that are triplexes or smaller are exempt from these requirements. Once a business is established inside the structure, it is no longer exempt.

Building Permits ARE REQUIRED In the Mat-Su Borough!
