Deputy Chief-Fire Marshal, Jamey Medlin has been with the Mason
City Fire Department since 1999. Jamey started his fire service in 1995
as a volunteer with the Rudd Fire Department, then a career firefighter/EMT
with the Charles City Fire Department. Fire Marshal Jamey Medlin leads the
Mason City Department’s Bureau of Fire Prevention. His duties include reviewing
new and existing building plans for compliance with all locally adopted codes
including city, state, and federal codes, fire code enforcement through fire
inspections of existing occupancies, fire cause investigation, and fire
prevention education. He is supported by our Assistant Deputy Chief of Training and other firefighters in the Fire Prevention Bureau. The Fire Prevention
Bureau can be reached by calling the fire department Monday through Friday,
8:00am to 4:00pm at 641-421-3640 or by e-mail at [email protected]
The Fire Prevention Bureau is a vital part of the fire
department’s efforts to reduce the incidence and severity of fires in the
community through fire inspections and code enforcement. The Fire Prevention
Bureau preforms fire inspections on buildings on a rotation so all buildings
are inspected regularly. Special permits or occupancies may require annually
inspections. Fire code violations are documented and mitigation of violations
is required. Historically, the common fire code violations include improper
electrical wiring, improper storage of flammable and combustible liquids, exit
signs and emergency lights not in working order, and multiple locking
mechanizes on means of egress doors. The Fire Prevention Bureau works closely
with property owners in the city to assist them in complying with all
applicable fire codes.
Anyone interested in purchasing a building for commercial purpose,
excluding single family residents within the city of Mason City limits is
encouraged to contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at 641-421-3640 prior to
making any purchase commitments. The Fire Marshal is able to inform tenants,
owners, and potential property owners of fire code requirements and upgrades
which may be required to use the property as they intend.
