| Another
aspect of our unique operation is the fire marshaling
and fire inspection component of the operation. In
Blaine, Spring Lake Park, and Mounds View the fire
marshaling is done by the city with city employees
who are designated as fire marshals.
Fire marshaling and inspection is a critical component
of the fire protection and prevention services arena.
Since the adoption and implementation of the programs
the decline in commercial, industrial, and retail
fires, alarm calls, and other emergency service requests
has been reduced significantly to a point that the
fire problem has been all but eliminated.
The single most important reason for this is the
adoption and installation of sprinkler systems which
have proven over time to be over 98% effective in
controlling and extinguishing fire. |
