How knowledgeable are you in building fire code regulations?
Being knowledgeable in building fire code regulations is a key part of a fire inspector's job. While inspectors are not expected to remember every code word for word, they need to know where to reference the code. Describe your experience with fire code regulations and where you would reference the codes if needed.
"During the past five years working as an inspector, I have become quite familiar with the fire codes. It is impossible to remember every obscure regulation, so I carry several books in my car that cover the NFPA fire codes, the local building codes, and the fire codes that my state enforces. Most of the normal, everyday codes I have memorized, but I also have an app on my computer that I can show the customer what the code reads if there is a question."
