ENFORCEMENT

Annual Inspections

The overall goal of the business inspection program is to enhance life safety and fire protection in our community. Each business is inspected on a regular basis depending on the nature of the business conducted. The fire department attempts to educate business owners how to monitor their own business as it relates to fire safety as well as the safety of the general public.

Weed Abatement

The City of Manteca has an ordinance which prohibits the accumulation of weeds, debris, rubbish, trash, grass and vegetation on private property. The Fire Department has a annual Weed/ Abatement Program in which we canvass the entire city to rid our neighborhoods of such nuisances.

ENGINEERING

The Fire Prevention Division provides comprehensive plan check services. These services apply to both new construction and existing occupancies throughout the City of Manteca. Plans are reviewed for compliance with the applicable fire and life safety regulations, codes and ordinances
