Director's Office

Our Mission is to prevent the loss of life and property from fire and explosion. Fire safety is improved through three means. Our bureaus are formed on that basis.

Enforcement (Life Safety Inspection Bureau)
Engineering (Plan Review Bureau)
Education (Bureau of Fire Accreditation, Standards and Training)

I invite you to browse our pages and take advantage of the opportunity to know us better and learn how you and those you care for can be fire safe.

I believe that fire safety is an individual responsibility but it is our role to provide resources to assist in that effort.

Help us to help you make Alaska a fire safe place in which to live, work, and play.

Governor Mike Dunleavy has proclaimed May, 2023 as
Building Safety Month in Alaska
