City Ordinance No. 4500 (includes amendments to the 2012 International Fire Code) and Municipal Code Chapter 15:44 charge Grand Junction's Fire Prevention Bureau with enforcement of the 2012 International Fire Code (IFC). This code was developed in conjunction with a full set of modern construction codes including the International Building Code. The City of Grand Junction and the Mesa County Building Department have also adopted the International Building Code, which works in tandem with the International Fire Code. Copies of the International Fire Code may be viewed at the Grand Junction Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau or purchased from a book store or on the internet.

Services provided by the Fire Prevention Bureau include consulting, plan reviews, fire protections system inspections, fire and life-safety inspections and fire-flow evaluations. Regularly scheduled fire company inspections of all commercial properties in the City of Grand Junction are required by ordinance. The objective of these inspections is to identify and initiate correction of fire and life-safety hazards, verify contact information, educate the occupants and familiarize fire personnel with the property in the event of fire.
