* All 26F inspections will be scheduled for Tuesdays through Thursdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. As we make every effort to be on time for the scheduled time of your inspection, please allow the Fire Department extra time because of unforeseen events and call volume. Please be ready 15 mins prior to the scheduled inspection time, so if we are running early, we can complete the inspection.

Bridgewater Fire Department will make every effort to schedule inspections in a timely manner, but after 30 days Bridgewater Fire Department does not inspect any installations, and the responsibility will be on the installing contractor for the integrity of work performed.
