State of Massachusetts Revised Fire Code 527CMR1 (PDF). As of January 1, 2015, the Falmouth Fire Rescue Department/Fire Prevention Bureau no longer issues permits for the installation of fire protection systems.

Construction plans are to be simultaneously submitted to both the Town of Falmouth Building Department and the Fire Department.
