One of the biggest changes of this month was the retirement of
Riverside County Fire Assistant Fire Marshal Paul Villalobos. He left the
Menifee – Office of the Fire Marshal on Dec 4th. Currently the office is
still conducting inspections, planning cases and plan rev iews by a Fire
Safety Specialist and 1 inspector from the Riverside County OFM office.
Several plan reviews included fire clearance for major projects
including the Lennar at Town Center development, several new phases
at Audie Murphy Ranch, the Centennial and Brixton Developments.
Kirkorian Theaters, Artesa Apartment complex and Club house,
Commerce Point II, Fairfield Inn. The Grand opening of Café Rio was a
success. Business such as Dunkin Donuts, Fire House subs, Wolfe
Donuts and Braces by Garcia, Barons Market, Tuesday Morning are
actively having inspection and moving forward with openings soon.
On Dec 1st the OFM part took in the fire and life safety inspection and
plan review for the City of Menifee’s Tree Lighting Festival at MSJC.
Plan reviews and inspections have been conducted for the “New City
Hall” and diligently working with the property owners, contractors and
city officials.
With the growing number of tract files, permit files and documentation
related to development the office has outgrown the allotted space for
files and plans. The City of Menifee currently has a temp office assistant
working in the office helping with scheduling inspections, filing,
answering phone and numerous fire duties along with an intern from
MSJC who currently attends school and works in the office two days a
week assisting . This has impacted the OFM and Building and Safety

Division who share the same office space for files, office space

In between inspections, plan reviews, document retention, scheduling,
billing, as well as required reports, Menifee staff has a full workload as
do other divisions in this growing community.
The Fire Marshal services provided locally continue to receive positive
comments on service delivery and assistance to the public and business
community from customers, City staff and the Development
