The Orem fire prevention division serves the cities of Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard. The Division is responsible for plan reviews, permits, fire inspections, and arson investigations.
The Division conducts an estimated 5,000 business inspections and nearly 600 plan reviews annually. Our Fire Inspectors have geographical responsibilities which are: South Orem/Vineyard and North Orem/ Lindon. Inspections are done Monday through Thursday. Inspection scheduling links can be found on this page.
Our main focus when performing these business inspections is ensuring life safety and pre-planning for potential incidents. The goal of these inspections is to maintain safe businesses and to provide risk reduction to employees, customers, tenants, visitors, firefighters, and business owners in the case of an emergency in your building.
