Fire Code Enforcement & Inspections

The City of Columbiana recently adopted the 2015 Edition of the International Fire Code in accordance with The Shelby County Building Inspections Department.

Our staff inspects buildings for compliance with the applicable fire and life safety code during random routine inspections as well as during the issuance of a city business license. It is the responsibility of the building owner to maintain compliance with the code.

If questions or concerns are had with the Fire Code, its application or an inspection is needed, a department representative can be sent out. Contact Assistant Fire Chief Brett Ashworth by email or call (205) 368-9498 for questions regarding Fire Code Enforcement.
