Fire Inspection Process in Portola

Fire inspectors in Plumas County conduct walkthroughs that include visual inspection of the hood interior, ductwork access panels, and rooftop exhaust fans. They verify that cleaning certificates are current and match the NFPA 96 frequency schedule for the cooking type. Inspectors also check that fire suppression systems have been serviced within the required timeframe. Violations result in a correction notice — failure to correct can lead to operational restrictions or fines.
