Brookhaven recently signed a deal with Decatur to handle fire marshal inspections and permitting.

Brookhaven will pay $40 an hour for the service. DeKalb County had handled the work previously, processing about 600 building permits every year. The county will continue to provide fire and rescue services to Brookhaven.
