Fire Prevention Permit Notice

Special Events Permits for events that require a Fire Inspector acting as a safety officer have a charge of $50.00 per estimated hour of the event.

Example:

A Special Event that would require a Safety Officer would be any tent that has cooking under the same tent that the people will be assembled under. Any event that occurs on public property where the Fire Marshal is needed to assure that exits form existing buildings are not being compromised. Any special event that is deemed necessary to have a Safety Officer by the Metropolitan Nashville Fire Marshal. When you apply for the permit you will need to give us the estimated time of the event. We will charge for 30 minutes prior to the event until the close of the event. If the event runs longer than the stated time you will be billed for the remainder of the fee.
