Annual Fire Inspections
The Forsyth County Fire Department is responsible for enforcing the regulations of the 2006 North Carolina Fire Code and
ordinances adopted by the County of Forsyth. The jurisdictional area covers all schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County
School System and all businesses, institutions, assemblies and multi-family dwellings outside of the town limits of
Kernersville and the City of Winston-Salem.
It is the goal of the Forsyth County Fire Department to inform and assist the property owner and citizens with information
and guidance in order to comply with the various Fire and Lifesafety Codes and Regulations. The intent of the regulations is
to provide a reasonable level of safety to the property owner, occupants, general public and our emergency responders. The
inspection also serves to maintain our Emergency 9-1-1 data base for fire and medical emergencies. Maintaining this level
of safety has a positive affect on our economy and quality of life.
The employees who perform fire inspections must maintain annual competencies and are sworn to uphold State regulations.
But more importantly, these individuals are your neighbors and fellow citizens that are fire service professionals who
regularly see the injuries, deaths, property loss and financial burdens created by fire and other hazards that are so often
easily preventable. In order to assist you in complying with Fire Code issues, we have listed various information, common
hazards and helpful hints that will enhance your protection and increase the efficiency of your annual inspection. You may
contact us at 336-703-2550 during the regular office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. You may also
email us.
