Fire inspection is a vital process that involves checking a location’s risk of a fire, the ability to evacuate occupants and the ability to fight the fire. Fire inspectors are trained professionals who examine new and existing structures to ensure they are abiding by all fire codes.

Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a fire inspector do?

Fire inspectors inspect buildings to make sure all of the federal, state, and local fire codes are being met. They also work with builders and developers on designs and plans for new structures to ensure the compliance of the codes. They address emergency exits, fire suppression systems, alarms, sprinklers, and safety precautions. Fire inspectors also determine the maximum amount of people who can occupy a structure. They identify violations and schedule follow-up examinations to make sure the violations have been resolved. They periodically inspect facilities where flammable and explosive materials are present, such as oil refineries and gas stations. Fire inspectors assist in the development of evacuation and fire safety plans and fire and arson investigations.

What kind of training does a fire inspector need?

Fire inspectors must have at least a high school diploma. Most employers prefer candidates with previous work experience and formal training. Some have associate or bachelor degrees in fire science. Many fire inspectors complete a certification program that includes classroom instruction and practical learning experiences. Students complete courses on many different topics such as inspection practices, codes and standards, fire prevention and safety, fundamentals of building construction, recognizing fire hazards, and investigating arson. Fire inspectors usually have to pass a comprehensive examination after completion of the certificate program. They must stay up to date on the current advancements and often complete continuing education throughout their careers.

What are the prospects for a career as a fire inspector?

Employment of fire inspectors is expected to grow as fast as average, increasing 10% from 2006 to 2016 (1). A growing population and increase in construction will drive job growth.

Job prospects are projected to be good with strong competition. Fire inspectors with advanced education and extensive experience will have the best prospects. Job openings will also stem from the need to replace fire inspectors who retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.

How much do fire inspectors make?

As of November 2009, the middle 50% of fire inspectors earn annual salaries between $46,731 and $61,022. The top 10% earn more than $69,666 (2).

A career as a fire inspector is a great choice for people interested in inspecting structures to ensure they are meeting fire codes. Fire inspectors must have a thorough knowledge of fire safety and prevention procedures. They must be confident and have good judgment. They must have excellent communication and be able to present violations and reports in a respectful yet stern manner. Fire inspectors must also be able to effectively work as part of a team.
