o The Netcong Fire Prevention Bureau enforces the Uniform Fire Code of the State of New Jersey. The Bureau does regular fire code inspections of all commercial buildings in the borough including businesses, schools, and restaurants. These inspections confirm that there are no fire hazards present and that all fire protection systems are properly maintained and operable.
o Some of the most common violations the bureau encounters in these buildings are using extension cords for permanent wiring, overdue fire extinguisher inspection tags, blocked exits, outdated test reports for fire protection systems, storage in utility areas and non-operable exit and emergency lighting.
The Bureau consists of a part time Fire Official, and three part-time Fire Inspectors. Our hours of operation vary. Feel free to email the bureau for an appointment at netcongfpb@netcong.org. You can also contact the bureau at (862) 599-0155.
