Fire Prevention Bureau

The Hamilton Township Fire Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, is responsible for enforcement of all local and state fire codes within the Township.

The goal of the Fire Prevention Bureau is to prevent fires and minimize the risk of loss of life and property through fire code enforcement and education. The Fire Prevention Code regulates the proper maintenance of existing fire protection features of a building, which are specifically addressed in the NJ Uniform Fire Code. These include maintenance of fire detection and suppression systems, fire extinguishers, means of egress, storage and housekeeping, etc.

The Fire Safety Code addresses retrofit requirements where modifications have to be made to a building to address the lack of fire safety.

The Fire Prevention Bureau is charged with inspecting all of the building and structures in the Township, with the exception of owner occupied one and two-family dwellings, at least once a year.
