Welcome to the Gastonia Fire Marshal's Office. Our goal is to serve the citizens and visitors of Gastonia by enforcing the fire code and other pertinent life safety codes, teaching important life safety education, enforcing the city's burning ordinance, and conducting origin and cause fire investigations. Currently, we have five members in this office, including a Fire Marshal, an Assistant Fire Marshal, and three Fire Inspectors, who also conduct educational classes and fire investigations. I want this page to be a valuable resource to help you navigate what you need, whether it be construction information, permits (both operational and construction), or helpful resources. If we can help you with anything, let us know.
