Subject: Important Reminder: Fire Safety Inspection & Compliance for Pontiac Food Trucks
Dear Food Truck Owners and Operators,
With summer quickly approaching and major events like The Dream Cruise on the horizon, we want to remind you of the requirements to legally operate in the City of Pontiac.
Mandatory Fire Safety Inspection
All food trucks must complete an annual Fire Safety Inspection through the Waterford Regional Fire Department before operating in the city. Ensuring your truck meets fire safety standards is essential for both compliance and the safety of the community.
Strict Enforcement of City Regulations
In addition to fire safety requirements, all mobile food vendors must strictly adhere to the rules set forth in the City of Pontiac Municipal Code – ARTICLE XIXa: MOBILE FOOD VENDORS. These regulations will be actively enforced, particularly during high-profile events like The Dream Cruise, to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with fire safety and municipal codes will result in tickets, fines, and potential immediate removal from the event. To avoid any disruptions to your business, please schedule your inspection promptly and review all applicable regulations.
For questions about the Fire Safety Inspection process, contact the Waterford Regional Fire Department. For municipal code inquiries, please refer to the City of Pontiac’s official website or contact the appropriate city department.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a safe and successful season for all vendors.
