Prevention Division
Incident Avoidance and Safety Links
The Mission of the Prevention Division is to provide quality education, inspection, and investigative services to the citizens of St. Petersburg to prevent injuries, property damage, and improve the quality of life for our community.
Our efforts to meet this mission are focused on educating the community about awareness of incident potential and avoidance, as well as corrective action following those cases in which proactive efforts were unsuccessful. The fire safety education function is the responsibility of the Fire Marshall and is under the direction of a Deputy Fire Marshal who coordinates the public education activities of the Fire Safety Education Specialist and over three hundred members of our Fire Suppression forces. St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue strongly believes that fire safety is every member's responsibility.
The continued success of our Prevention programs would not be possible without the individual efforts of every member of the Division and the combined efforts of every member of St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue. Long term programs focusing on injury prevention and reducing fire occurrence are essential to the well being of our community. Our organization is committed to improving the safety of our citizens.
