Sacramento County · Commercial fire protection
Fire protection,done right in Sacramento.
Commercial fire protection, inspection, and testing for Sacramento facilities — state and civic buildings, healthcare, downtown office, distribution, and multifamily across the capital region.
Why Sacramento is different
The Sacramento commercial fire-protection landscape.
As California’s capital, Sacramento has a large base of state and civic office buildings alongside major hospitals, a growing downtown, distribution and logistics along I-5 and I-80, and a big multifamily market. Inside city limits, the Sacramento Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Division handles annual permit inspections, fire code enforcement, and plan review and inspection of new or modified fire protection systems. Much of the surrounding unincorporated county is served by Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District’s Community Risk Reduction Division — a separate authority with its own requirements.
