Annual Inspections

Each year the Effingham Fire Department completes over 1,000 fire safety inspections. By performing these inspections, it allows us to help reduce the risk of fire. It also gives us a chance to familiarize ourselves with your building. This can save time if an incident were to happen.

To help you when we are between inspections, we have put together some quick tips.

Mobile food service establishments

Mobile food service establishments need inspections before any cooking can take place.
