In PersonProcedure for obtaining a Fire Report
The Division of Fire completes a basic fire report for all incidents that we respond to. This report contains information such as: location of the incident, time of the incident, the primary unit, and a brief description of the incident. The Division of Fire requests the completion of a Fire Report Request Form (pdf) to obtain a copy of this report, or you may call our receptionist at (804) 501-4900. You can fax a completed request form to (804) 501-4642.
The fire report may be faxed, mailed or picked up in person. If you plan to pick up this report in person, you may come to the Public Safety Building at 7721 East Parham Road between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. – Monday through Friday (excluding county holidays). Please call (804) 501-4900 beforehand to arrange a time with the receptionist. The Division cannot guarantee a report will be available on your arrival without prior notification. Reports are not released from the fire stations.
The Division of Fire does not charge a fee for obtaining copies of these reports.
