The Pullman City Fire Department welcomed its new deputy fire marshal after hiring him on Jan. 29.
Deputy Fire Marshal Adam Hoffman was previously employed by the City of Pullman as a building inspector. He will join the fire department team and focus primarily on fire prevention within the community.
“There’s a lot to learn about fire services; however, I have a strong background with the city and am excited to continue to serve the community,” Hoffman said.
Hoffman’s role as deputy fire marshal includes fire inspections for businesses within the city’s jurisdiction, he said. Businesses such as restaurants, stores and any other public corridors such as WSU, will have to pass inspections conducted by Hoffman, ensuring they meet the legal standards.
