The Allegheny County Fire Marshal's Office has been an integral part of government in Allegheny County for 57 years. Pennsylvania Commonwealth Law within the Second Class County Code requires the county to investigate the origin and cause of fires as requested to do so. Philadelphia County is similar to Allegheny, and the Pennsylvania State Police investigate fires in the other sixty-five (65) counties of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Allegheny County Fire Marshal's Office is a Division within the Department of Emergency Services. There are currently nine employees and one canine each full-time assigned to the office. The Fire Marshal's Office is responsible for investigating the origin and cause of all fires in Allegheny County which either the local Police or Fire Departments request the service. The Fire Marshal's Office is also required to permit all under ground and above storage tanks of Flammable Liquids. There are over seven hundred gas stations within the county, which the office also inspects, permits, and monitors.
Coal's advice:
“Smoke, natural gas and CO detectors save lives.
Check ALL of your detectors twice a year to make sure they are operational.”
Change your clocks. Change your batteries.
