FIRE INSPECTOR
Fire inspectors perform examinations to enforce fire-prevention laws, ordinances, and codes; promote the development and use of effective fire-prevention methods; and provide instruction to the fire department and the general public regarding fire codes and prevention. They are employed by local fire departments and private companies, including factories, sawmills, chemical plants, and universities. Fire investigators analyze the cause, origin, and circumstances of fires involving loss of life and considerable property damage; interrogate witnesses and prepare investigation reports; and arrest and seek prosecution of arsonists. They are employed by local fire departments, state fire marshal's offices, and private companies.
Earning a high school diploma is the first step to becoming a fire inspector or investigator. Take classes in physics, biology, and mathematics. Speech and English courses will help you polish your communication skills.There are two ways to become a fire inspector. Some fire departments have policies that only those who have served as firefighters can work in the fire-prevention bureau. Other departments want people who are trained primarily for fire prevention. Either way, all students who want to join the fire department, either as an inspector or a firefighter, should take two- or four-year college courses, such as fire service, fire-protection systems, equipment, and fire protection. Specialized fire-prevention classes required for inspectors, such as hazardous materials and processes, flammable liquids, and high-piled stock, can be found through the colleges or the state fire marshal's office. The National Fire Academy (NFA) offers a variety of courses both on and off campus. While the NFA is not an accredited, degree-granting institution, some schools will give college credit for NFA courses. Additionally, NFA has partnered with several colleges across the country that offer bachelor's degrees in the areas of fire
Inspector salaries depend primarily on two things: if they work in the public or private sector and how large those departments or companies are. Typical salaries range from $30,000 to $45,000 to $75,000 and can increase with experience and years with the organization.
