Annual Business Inspections
The City of Soledad Fire Department conducts annual business inspections to secure the correction of common fire hazards and code violations. The inspections can be done either by the business as a self-inspection or by the fire department. The department oversees inspections of over 400 businesses throughout the year.
The Fire Department utilizes the annual inspection program as an educational experience for business owners. The ultimate goal is for these owners to become familiar with preventative measures to ensure fire safety for their employees and patrons.
