Fire Inspector careers

A Fire Inspector assesses buildings and facilities to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and standards. You might work in public safety departments, fire services, or private consulting firms. Fire Inspectors focus on identifying fire hazards, checking fire prevention systems, and verifying that safety protocols are in place. You’ll conduct regular inspections, issue reports, and recommend corrective actions to prevent fire risks.

Fire Inspectors play a critical role in protecting lives and property from fire hazards. You’ll need to be detail-oriented, have strong knowledge of fire safety codes, and be able to communicate effectively. You’ll collaborate with building owners, contractors, and public safety officials to ensure fire safety compliance and educate others on fire prevention.
