Evaluation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

Evaluation of exit illumination and emergency power supplies.

Assessment of the need for built-in fire protection systems and smoke control/management systems.

Selection criteria:

Students include full-time fire inspectors, deputy fire marshals, fire plans examiners, building officials, building plans examiners, and building inspectors with at least one year on the job experience who have responsibility for reviewing construction plans for code compliance. Applicants who are transitioning into or acquiring additional responsibilities must submit a letter from the chief or organizational head of their department stating such.

Students must have an understanding of fire protection principles and fire behavior, familiarity with the building and fire codes, and understand the legal aspects of code enforcement.
