How to become a fire inspector?

The minimum education requirement to work as a fire inspector is a high school diploma. Most fire inspectors have experience working as firefighters and have post-secondary degrees and certifications related to that work. To work as a fire inspector, you will have to fulfill the training requirements in your state. Typically this training is a combination of classroom and practical work, covering topics such as building safety codes, proper handling of hazardous materials, and fire alarm installation and inspection. You will need to be certified by the National Fire Protection Association and may complete additional training.
