Fire and Life Safety Inspections

The City of Oviedo contracts with PDCS, LLC, to provide high-quality Fire and Life Safety Inspection services. Exceptionally trained inspectors and plan examiners conduct quality inspections in all commercial buildings and residential properties bearing licensure from the State of Florida and review plans in accordance with all applicable local ordinances, Florida Statutes, Florida Fire Prevention Code, and NFPA.

PDCS provides state-licensed and NFPA-certified inspectors to decrease fire hazards, eliminate code violations, and educate business owners on the dynamics that increase the likelihood of fires and life safety issues within their businesses. These inspections decrease the occurrence of fires and safety violations, making businesses safer in the Oviedo community.

Fire Prevention Community Involvement and Programs

Residential Key Box Program

The City of Oviedo Fire Department offers the Oviedo residents the ability to participate in a Residential Key Box Program. The Residential Key Box Program provides a secure (safe-type box) that hangs over the front door in which the key to your home is secured, allowing access for Fire Department Personnel in an emergency. The program is intended for the following purposes:

• Patients with serious health conditions may be unable to provide entry to emergency service personnel.
• Elderly who live alone and have concerns about the inability to provide entry to emergency service personnel.

Smoke Detector Program

The City of Oviedo Fire Department offers a free Smoke Detector and Alarm Program to Oviedo residents who are financially unable to maintain a working smoke alarm in their homes. Smoke detectors/Alarms provide an "early" warning that a potentially serious fire has occurred in the home and afford you and your family precious moments to escape a fire. Contact our Fire Rescue Administration Office at 407-971-5611 to see if you qualify for the program.

If you wish to schedule a free inspection or change batteries in your Smoke Detector/Alarm that is too high, you may contact Seminole County Non-Emergency Dispatch at 407-665-5100 to schedule an appointment. An adult must be present in the home during inspection and service.
