Town of Firestone Celebrates

Building Safety Month

The Town of Firestone will celebrate Building Safety Month during May. Over the next month, we will share tips and resources for the community to learn about indoor and outdoor safety for their homes or businesses.

In Firestone, the Building Division provides services to individuals planning property improvements by reviewing construction plans, issuing permits, performing inspections, and enforcing ordinances that ensure safe buildings and a healthy environment. The division also manages the licensing of contractors and trades.

Welcome to Week 1 of Building Safety Month 2025!

The Basics of Building Safety

Welcome to Week 1, Opening Day of Building Safety Month 2025! As part of the "Game On!" theme, we’re kicking things off by covering the basics of building safety and sharing a bit about Building Safety Month. Building safety is a team effort, and this month we’re giving you the playbook to help keep the places where we live, work, and play safe!

What is Building Safety?

Elements of building safety can be found all around us. On an individual level, building safety can include installing smoke alarms in your house or giving portable heaters at least three feet of space. On a community level, building safety can include adopting modern building codes or enacting sustainability initiatives.

Remember, hitting a building safety homerun is only possible when we all do our part!

All communities need building codes to protect their citizens from hazards like fires, weather-related events, and structural collapse.
Building codes are society's best way of protecting homes, offices, schools, manufacturing facilities, stores, and entertainment venues.
Building safety professionals work day in and day out to keep the public safe.
