- Inspections of new and existing buildings.
- Reviews and inspections of Fire Protection Systems.
- Enforcement of applicable fire and building codes.
- Development and communication of fire codes.
- Granting of special permits and licenses.
Fire code development and enforcement - the Arson Bureau is responsible for investigating the cause of fires and explosions within the city limits of San Antonio.
