Fire Code Inspections & Fees
The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code
inspections took effect July 1, 2016 for all commercial and public buildings
within the Town of Abingdon, VA. The purpose of these prevention codes is to
provide statewide standards to safeguard life and property from the hazards of
fire and explosion. These hazards arise from improper maintenance of safety and
fire prevention materials, systems and structures, and the unsafe storage of
substances, including explosives and blasting agents. The prevention codes provide
administration the right to enforce these regulations and safeguard the value
of property and life. Also, the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Codes
establish regulations for obtaining permits for the manufacturing, storage,
handling, use, or sale of explosives.
