Thank you for visiting the State Fire Marshal’s Office website. Our mission is to provide inspection services, conduct investigations of fires and explosions, prevent the commission of arson and related crimes, protect lives and property from fire and explosions, and provide visitors and citizens of the state a safe environment in which to live, work and play.

We accomplish this by means of one office located in the downtown area of Montgomery where myself along with the Assistant State Fire Marshals reside.  Along side us are Deputy Fire Marshals who are strategically located around the state and work assigned territories.

If you feel that we may be able to assist you in any way possible, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

Alabama State Fire Marshal, Edward Paulk
