Since it's inauguration in 1846, the Fire Prevention Bureau, located at the central station, is responsible for carrying out three main functions:
Public Education
Code Enforcement
Fire Investigation
In order to achieve the goal of fire safety within the community, the staff of the Fire Prevention Bureau must work with several other city agencies, such as the Police Department and the Planning & Community Development (City Codes etc).

SMOKE ALARM PROGRAM
The City of Manchester Fire Department recognizes working smoke alarms save lives; therefore, it created the Smoke Alarm & Carbon Monoxide Detector Program. This program provides smoke alarms and replacement batteries free of charge to residents of single-family dwellings who cannot afford to purchase them or who are unable to safely perform these tasks. Residents living in rental properties or condominiums should contact their landlord or property owner's association for smoke alarms and/or batteries.
If you are in need of a new smoke alarm or replacement batteries, please complete the Free Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector form and someone from the Fire Prevention Bureau will contact you regarding your request.
Below you will find documentation on compliances, rules and regulations, as well as some of the more popular permits for the varied occupancies in the city.
