Because fire inspectors often work in potentially toxic environments, they need training and protection from toxins, carcinogens, and airborne pathogens.
Designed to provide a fire inspector’s refresher training in respiratory protection, this course discusses the selection, fit testing, daily inspection, and proper use of respiratory protection equipment.
The course reviews different types of fire suppression systems including wet, dry, deluge, pre-action, and residential sprinkler systems and how to effectively inspect such systems.
Patient care reports are medical, as well as legal, documents. This class reviews important components of the PCR and shows how properly completed documents can protect you and your organization against claims of negligence.

Fire inspectors play an important role in building design, construction and maintenance. Proper building construction, combined with adequate maintenance, can allow continued safe and productive use of a structure throughout its lifecycle.
Fire inspectors need to have the knowledge of how to properly apply the code’s use and occupancy limitations as they relate to building construction.
As a representative of the fire department, fire inspectors should strive to provide good customer service to both internal and external customers to aid in the delivery of effective inspection findings.
Electrical systems can present a significant fire risk to property, occupants, and surrounding environments, particularly if the system is not maintained. It is imperative for fire departments to establish and maintain inspection schedules for electrical systems.
This course provides fire inspectors with a succinct review of inspection standards and best practices for electrical system inspections, including the key elements to identify and observe when conducting a building inspection.

Course reviews automatic and manually activated fire alarm systems, their components, and how to inspect these systems.
Hazardous materials awareness for fire inspectors has become increasingly important over the last few decades. The fire inspector conducts fire and life safety inspections at a variety of locations. These locations may have hazardous materials of some type or quantity. While fire inspectors don’t need to be trained as hazardous materials experts or emergency responders, they should have hazardous materials awareness-level training and a background in basic chemistry.
This program will cover hazardous materials for fire inspectors.
Ensuring that fire hydrants are accessible, operational, and able to deliver a sufficient water supply is essential. Periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance of hydrants can help to confirm that the water supply will be adequate, reliable, and unobstructed when it is needed for fire suppression operations.
This course is designed to review the basic practices of single hydrant inspection and testing to provide baseline condition, pressure, and volume readings, as well as hydrant maintenance. Please note: this program does not cover a full water system evaluation.

The codes and standards adopted by municipalities and enforced by fire departments are intended to establish and maintain a “reasonable†degree of fire safety in all occupancies.
The codes and standards adopted by municipalities and enforced by fire departments are intended to establish and maintain a “reasonable†degree of fire safety in all occupancies.
This course helps fire inspectors become aware of the existence of contributing hazards that present significant threats to fire safety in occupancies that are otherwise in compliance with fire codes.
