Most fire inspectors have some firefighting experience before becoming inspectors, which usually involves a fire academy. If you have attended a fire academy, describe where you received your training. If you have taught at an academy, be sure to include that, too. The interviewer is looking to see how much knowledge and experience you have in the fire service. If you do not have formal training from a fire academy, let them know and describe the fire inspector training you have.

"Yes, I have formal training after attending two fire academies. My first academy was at (name the college or facility) after deciding I wanted to work as a firefighter. I felt it would increase my chances of getting hired with a larger department. One year after graduating from the academy, I was hired by (name department) and was required to attend their academy before becoming a probationary firefighter. I have also worked as a Drill Instructor for the same department teaching two, six month long academies."
