Mission The mission of the Office of the Fire Marshal is to reduce fire occurrence and loss of life throughout our community, through regular inspection, maintenance, education and awareness programs. A state agency, the Bureau of Fire Prevention is managed by Fire Marshal Michael Woch. The Fire Marshal and Fire Inspector's are responsible for the enforcement of the New Jersey State Fire Prevention Code, National Fire Prevention Code and Local Ordinances. Through regular inspections of all businesses in the Township of West Milford, continued Fire Prevention and Awareness Programs, the Bureau has significantly reduced fire damage and loss of life throughout the Township since it's inception in the early '70's. Originally a division of the Department of Fire, this office was manned by Volunteer Fire Fighters. The Bureau has evolved into a paid division and is now the Local Enforcing Agency for the State under the New Jersey State Fire Safety Act.
