3 INTRODUCTION A County Fire Marshal LGC Shall Investigate the cause of fires and record; May Inspect for fire or life safety hazards; May Review building plans for fire safety; and Shall Coordinate with volunteer fire departments in the county.
4 FACTS AUTHORITY TO ADOPT AND ENFORCE FIRE CODE. (a) The commissioners court of a county with a population of over 250,000 or a county adjacent to a county with a population of over 250,000 may adopt a fire code and rules necessary to administer and enforce the fire code. Counties are not required to have a fire marshal Not all counties have a fire marshal Counties are not required to adopt a fire code Not all counties have the authority to adopt a fire code Some counties have a fire marshal but no fire code (NFPA standards adopted by the state)
5 How does this affect OEM? Often, the Emergency Management Coordinator is the person called upon when a safety situation arises within the county, especially if there is not an appropriate fit for the situation. Certain events may cause the EMC of a county to initiate the creation of a County Fire Marshal s Office, or be involved in its inception.

9 Possible Issues Unsafe construction of buildings; Built to no specific recognized code; Unsafe wiring (extension cords spliced as wiring); Notable fires due to fire hazards in the jurisdiction; Fire alarms or Fire protections systems inoperable; Unsafe storage of hazardous materials; All of these can be exacerbated by a county experiencing rapid growth.
