Fire Inspections

Inspection Checklists

Plan Review

Plan reviews range from complex development plans to any proposed fire-protection system. Fire Inspectors confirm that the proposed construction is in compliance with the Fire Code. The Fire Marshal's Office certifies (reviews and approves) plans. These certifications protect public safety in the City of Rio Rancho and directly affect a number of businesses, industry professionals, storage, and residential businesses. 

Inspections

The Fire Prevention Division completes approximately 1,500 fire inspections annually. To schedule a fire inspection or final fire, please call or email Fire Marshal Jessica Duron-Martinez, at (505) 891-5924 or jamartinez@rrnm.gov.
