The town fire marshal is responsible for enforcing the provisions of Chapter 541 of the Connecticut General Statutes, which relate to fire, emergency and building services. The fire marshal is required every year to inspect daycare centers, movie theaters and schools, among other buildings. The Fire Marshal also investigates fires, inspects fireworks displays and provides advice and safety tips to the public, among other duties.
Samuel E. DeBurra, Jr. is the fire marshal here, and Donn Dobson is the deputy fire marshal. The fire marshal's website provides details of the town's open-burning regulations and links to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
