Knox County established its Fire Prevention Bureau in 1984 to enforce applicable codes
and to reduce the number and severity of blazes.
The mission of the Knox County Fire Prevention Bureau is to make
Knox County a safer place to live, work or visit by protecting its residents and guests from the ravages of fire. We
accomplish this by conducting life safety inspections of existing structures and new construction,developing proactive and
diverse public education programs and maintaining an aggressive fire investigation program.
