State statutes assign the responsibility of fire protection to Fire Protection Districts. Therefore, Fire Protection Districts are responsible for adopting and enforcing Fire Codes. To help insure the safety, health and welfare; and, in general, to secure safety to life and property from all hazards incident to the design, erection, repair, or use and occupancy of all buildings, structures or premises in the Cottleville Fire Protection District , we have adopted Ordinance No. 23 – The Fire Prevention Code, which involves a detailed permit and inspection process.
