Fire Safety Inspector
Fire Safety Inspectors are responsible for inspecting buildings to ensure that they meet fire safety codes, regulations, and standards set forth by local, state, and federal authorities. They may also be tasked with investigating fires, and educating the public on fire safety issues.
Education and Training
Fire Safety Inspectors typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, as well as some college coursework in fire science or a related field. While many begin their careers as firefighters or in another job with first-responder experience, it's not always necessary. Some states require Fire Safety Inspectors to be licensed, which may require additional training and/or experience.
