Fire Protection Plan Review

Contractors that design and install systems within the City of Appleton submit the plans directly to the Appleton Fire Department for review and approval. Fees are collected for state plan review as well as local plan review and a portion of the fee is then forwarded to the state. To submit a plan to the Fire Department, complete the Plan Review Submittal Form.

Our Prevention department provides fire extinguisher training for businesses. The training consists of a classroom portion where basic fire safety and fire extinguisher information is shared; and a practical hands-on portion consisting of actually using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire. There is a fee for this training.
