The mission of the Fire Prevention Bureau is to protect the lives and property of our citizens and firefighters through an assertive program of fire safety and inspections and code enforcement activities.

The Seminole County Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for the enforcement of the Florida Fire Prevention Code, as well as local laws and ordinances as adopted by both the State of Florida and Seminole County. The aim of the Fire Prevention Bureau is to provide the services necessary to establish a reasonable level of fire and life safety and property protection from the hazards created by fire, explosion, and other dangerous conditions. This is currently accomplished by providing services to unincorporated Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs.
