"There are many things that motivate me to do a great job as a fire inspector. The most important reason I am motivated as an inspector is that I get to work in the community I grew up in. I can provide a service that helps keep the citizens safe. I am also motivated by educating the community about fire safety and fire hazards. I love seeing young kids in fire safety classes I taught become involved in the fire service. To me, that is a sign that I have had an impact on them, and it makes me want to continue doing a great job."
