Performance Strategy and Outcome Performance Information is followed by detailed Inspection: Inspection duties include high hazard occupancies, descriptions of each program high-rise buildings, health-care and day-care facilities, schools, grain and its accomplishments. elevators, and new occupancies. In addition, fire protection system plan reviews and code foot print plan reviews are done for the State Fire Marshal's Office. This section also monitors burn permits, responds to citizen complaints, and ensures citizen safety at events. Education: Staff conduct fire safety and prevention training in addition to inspections on properties requiring state certification. Staff develop programs to assist large corporations in emergency evacuation procedures, provide a variety of fire safety programs for the public, and assist in training for Operations Division staff. Operations staff, with station tours, smoke detector installation, and other activities, supplement the public education role In 2000, three positions were shifted from the Fire Department to the Office of Central Inspection (OCI) to enhance the efficiency of this area Theses positions coordinate with inspectors from OCI to review plans related to fire suppression systems, fire alarm systems, fire apparatus access, and water supply analysis. In addition, plan reviews for special occupancies are performed in coordination with OCI. As commissioned positions performing this role have separated from the service, theses tasks have been integrated into the workload of OCI inspectors. Currently one commissioned position remainsBox 1 1. Continued Investigation: Currently four investigator positions, including one 40-hour Captain and three 24-hour lieutenants, insure all significant fires are investigated. Significant fires include any fire that does a minimum of $25,000 in damage, is an and arson, or results in serious injury or death. The lieutenants, with the Captain supplementing operations on a 40-hour schedule, provide coverage on 24-hour shifts. The budget includes an additional 40-hour Fire Lieutenant to supplement the three 24-hour lieutenants, which will allow the Captain to investigate the more technical fires and manage the investigative unit. Outcomes and Challenges: Preventing fires is a dynamic under- taking. Some of the factors include reaching children at schools, identifying potential arsonists, keeping abreast of new fire codes and regulations, and ensuring citizens know when they are violating fire codes. Managers anticipate that the additional 40-hour Arson Investigator Lieutenant will increase the clearance rate to 23% by 2008, which should reduce the arson's per capita. In addition fire prevention looks to reduce the total number of residential fires and the number of arsons while increasing citizens' perception of safety.
