The Fire Marshal's Office is responsible for inspecting, at least annually, all three family or more dwellings, business, mercantile, day care, educational, board & care, assembly, storage and industrial occupancies. We must review all plans for commercial and three family or more dwellings construction in the Town of Bethel to see that they comply with the State Fire Safety Code. We must determine the cause and origin of all fires that occur in the Town of Bethel. We also submit a monthly report to the Connecticut State Fire Marshal's Office on all fire calls. All open burn areas are inspected by a Burning Official prior to a permit being issued and must be approved the day of the burning by the Fire Marshal Department switchboard according to the State Burning Index. Blasting Permits are issued through this office.
