Fire Safety Inspections Overview
The City of Two Rivers Fire Department Fire Code Enforcement program is a vital element in providing services to the local commercial, industrial, and educational community of Two Rivers. It is our goal that a well planned and organized fire inspection program can address the issues of human life, safety and property conservation.
Fire departments in the State of Wisconsin are mandated by State Statute 101.14(2)(b) to provide for the inspection of every public building and place of employment to determine and cause, to eliminate any fire hazard or any violation of the law relating to the prevention of fires.
The statutes also require that the inspections be conducted at least once per calender year and that written reports of inspection be made and kept on file.
Fulfilling these statutory requirements enables the City of Two Rivers to receive a portion of all insurance premiums collected for the city. The money is collected by the Insurance Service Office of Wisconsin and distributed by the State of Wisconsin Department of Commerce. The amount received in 2012 was $21,909.88.
