About the Bureau of Fire Prevention

The Washington Township Bureau of Fire Prevention was established in 1985 in response to the State of New Jersey mandating that certain buildings and occupancy types should be inspected for fire and life safety violations. Since its inception, the Bureau of Fire Prevention has continued to grow due to increased inspection responsibilities attributed to continued commercial growth in Washington Township. The Bureau of Fire Prevention has also undertaken an aggressive fire prevention program aimed at stopping fires before they start.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact the Bureau of Fire Prevention at 856-863-4012.

Fire Safety Prevention

There are several ways to protect yourself, your family and your community

To help us, and the community, we are asking residents to Adopt a Hydrant. As you shovel your walks and driveways, we ask that you also include the area around the hydrant that is located on your block. Hydrants are typically located at the end or middle of each block, but they are used to protect all of the properties for 500 to 1,000 feet in both directions. In a fire situation, seconds count! Every few minutes a fire can double in size so it’s important for us to locate a hydrant, connect and establish a water supply quickly. Please join us in our efforts to keep Washington Township safe!
