Eleanore Strauss Dec 10, 2015:
Switzerland as target country That can very well be so. I did quite a bit of work for 'official' sources wanting their work/decisions published in English.
Edith Kelly Dec 10, 2015:
Kieran the target country cannot be Switzerland as English is not an official language here. You meant to say: source country is Switzerland
Kieran Sheehan (asker) Dec 10, 2015:
Target country is Switzerland. It's a Swiss "Bauentscheid".
Johannes Gleim Dec 10, 2015:
@ Kieran What is the target country?

Or "Fire Safety Officer" if it is a specific person.

Could also use "Fire Prevention Office".

Fire Authority

I haven't found a Swiss source, but in Austria it's also called Feuerpolizei.

The law called "Wiener Feuerpolizei- und Luftreinhaltegesetz" has been translated by the EU with "Viennese Act on fire authorities and air pollution control".

local authority for fire prevention

As the target country/city is not indicated, we cannot apply local names of organizations, but should find a general term, which comprises all possible designations.

Als Feuerpolizei wird eine Behörde bezeichnet, die den Brandschutz festlegt und überwacht. Diese Aufgabe übernimmt meistens entweder die Feuerwehr oder das Bauamt.
Der Begriff Feuerpolizei wird heute hauptsächlich in Österreich und in der Schweiz verwendet und war in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts auch in Deutschland gebräuchlich. Auch wenn der Begriff darauf schließen lassen könnte, ist die Feuerpolizei nicht mit der Polizei zu verwechseln und hat auch keine polizeilichen Befugnisse. Der Begriff entstammt nämlich noch der ursprünglich griechischen Bezeichnung "polis" (dt. "Stadt"), mit der unter anderem bei den Römern allgemein die öffentliche Stadtverwaltung bezeichnet wurde.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerpolizei

Fire safety is often a component of building safety. Those who inspect buildings for violations of the Fire Code and go into schools to educate children on Fire Safety topics are fire department members known as Fire Prevention Officers. The Chief Fire Prevention Officer or Chief of Fire Prevention will normally train newcomers to the Fire Prevention Division and may also conduct inspections or make presentations.
:
Elements of a fire safety policy
• Building a facility in accordance with the version of the local building code
• Maintaining a facility and conducting oneself in accordance with the provisions of the fire code. This is based on the occupants and operators of the building being aware of the applicable regulations and advice.
:
In the United States, the fire code (also fire prevention code or fire safety code) is a model code adopted by the state or local jurisdiction and enforced by fire prevention officers within municipal fire departments. It is a set of rules prescribing minimum requirements to prevent fire and explosion hazards arising from storage, handling, or use of dangerous materials, or from other specific hazardous conditions. It complements the building code.

Danke!
neutral philgoddard : "Local fire prevention authority" would work, but not this, because "local authority" has a specific meaning.

Why not? The local authority for fire prevention is the body to submit the relevant documentation.
