PLAN REVIEW

& SUMBITTAL

The Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District is responsible for ensuring that fire and life safety is provided and maintained in the buildings that fall within its jurisdiction. The scope of work that requires plan review includes fire-rated construction, fire suppression systems of all types, fire alarm systems, solar projects and commercial hood systems. Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District conducts plan reviews that are separate from those done by the Building Division at the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Fees will be determined after a plan check has been completed, and payment is due prior to a permit being issued. Construction and/or installation may not begin until permits are issued by both MLFD and the Town of Mammoth Lakes. MLFD prefers a paperless plan review process. Plans may be emailed in PDF format to prevention@mlfd.ca.gov. You may also email a Google Drive or Dropbox link to this address, as well as bring a flash drive containing your plans to the Prevention Division at Station 1 during regular business hours.

DEFERRAL POLICY

Absolutely no deferred submittals will be accepted. Fire construction plans, fire sprinkler plans (if required) and/or fire alarm plans (if required) must be submitted together for review.

INTERWEST PLAN REVIEW

Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District contracts with Interwest Consulting Group for fire construction, fire sprinkler and fire alarm plan reviews.

Construction and/or installation work cannot begin until plans have been approved by the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District and the Town of Mammoth Lakes Building Division. All approved plans and permits shall be maintained on the project site. Permits are valid for one year after the date of issuance. If, after one year, there has been no work done on the project, the permit becomes invalid.
