Part II. Administration

Article 1. Purpose

The standards are designed as the basis for assuring that a Fire Inspector I has a clear understanding of the Fire Prevention Code, laws, rules, and regulations which have been adopted to make Virginia communities a safer place to live, work and play. Upon successfully completing the course, the student will have a clear understanding of how to conduct a fire prevention inspection and what action is required to have hazardous conditions corrected.

It is not the intent of this course to produce an experienced Fire Inspector or Fire Marshal, but to supply the basic knowledge and skills necessary for functioning at a satisfactory level in this position while continuing to gain experience and knowledge.

The students meeting these prerequisites will be certified as meeting the provisions of N.F.P.A. (National Fire Protection Association) Standards Number 1031 for Fire Inspector I as adopted by the Virginia Fire Services Board and incorporated by reference and made a part of these regulations.

Upon satisfactorily completing the Inspector I course, or meeting the requirement for equivalency, passing the test developed for this course of study and satisfactorily completing the field work, the individual will be certified an Inspector I.
