The Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) has released its annual report highlighting its success during 2020 toward fulfilling its mission of protecting Tennesseans’ lives and property through fire prevention, education, codes enforcement, inspection and regulation. The SFMO is a division of the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI).
“Faced with unprecedented challenges last year, the men and women of the State Fire Marshal’s Office remained focused on our mission and found new ways to serve Tennesseans and fire departments despite the obstacles created by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said TDCI Assistant Commissioner Gary Farley. “I am proud of our team’s accomplishments and remind all Tennesseans to remain focused on fire prevention in 2021 to help reduce home fires and fire fatalities.”
