Fire and emergency prevention save lives.  The Kirkwood Fire Department (KFD) issues permits for multiple tasks including open burning and commercial construction for compliance with the International Fire Code which helps ensure the safety of everyone in our community by helping prevent emergency situations. 

To facilitate the process, the KFD encourages the use of a electronic application and plan submissions.  The use of electronic plan submissions allows KFD to conserve resources while providing a higher level of service to the community.  The link to submit the applicable permit for which you are applying for can be found below.

KFD can accept and review plans electronically via:

• eMail
• DropBox
• Other portable storage device (USB drive, external hard drive, etc.)

If you need a copy of stamped approved set of plans, then we do require a set of plans to be submitted.

If you have questions about the permit process please call  314.822.5883 or by emailing our the Fire Marshal below for further support.
