The Brownsville Fire Marshal's Office is responsible for conducting and coordinating fire inspections for many different types of new and existing commercial occupancies, such as daycare facilities, restaurants, doctor offices, theaters, and many more.
Fire Inspectors conduct these inspections to identify and correct any hazards or conditions that could cause a fire, contribute to its spread, and that could endanger occupants and firefighters during a fire.
Each and every inspection is done with everyone's safety in mind. Prevention and preparation is key!
To schedule a fire inspection call our office at

Inspections are conducted Monday-Friday and are to be scheduled no less than 1 business day before.
