The Bedford Park Fire Prevention Bureau was established in 1979, its main purpose is prescribing regulations governing conditions hazardous to life and property from fire or explosion. The current code used is the 1976 Fire Prevention Code and the National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA) No. 101, 1976 edition known as the Life Safety Code with amendments. In addition, Fire Prevention, along with the Building Inspector, reviews all new construction, remodeling, and all sprinkler and fire alarm systems. They meet every Thursday morning for such reviews. The Village also retains Richard Soloman, P.E., as their Fire Protection Engineer. Reviews are on a first-come basis and turn around is usually 3-4 weeks. Fire Prevention is responsible for all inspections and complete enforcement of the Fire Prevention Code, Village Ordinances, maintenance of records, and investigation of cause and origins of fires within the Village. Fire Prevention routinely inspects the buildings located within the Village, and if violations are found, the company is given 30 days to correct such violations. After 30 days reinspection is made, if the violation still is not corrected, an additional 15 days will be given. After the 15 days, if the violation is not corrected or an extension of time requested, a citation will be issued.
