for Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 1, the Vancouver Fire Department will charge fees for fire safety inspections and special use permits for commercial buildings in the city. Inspections are required by the International Fire Code and are intended to protect employees and the public. Fire marshal Jim Crawford says the program is similar to that of other jurisdictions in Washington. Typical business inspections include a review of emergency exits, sprinkler systems, fire alarms and restaurant hood suppression systems. Fees range from $60 for a small business such as a barber shop up to $485 for a large retail outlet. Businesses that engage in high-fire risk activities such as welding, fuel dispensing and compressed gas storage will pay a fee for special permits due to the need for staff intensive inspections. The city council adopted the new fees in November 2006 as partial cost recovery for the city inspection program.
