What is a Fire Inspector?

​​​

​Phoenix Fire Prevention Inspectors are the boots-on-the-ground men and 

women who are conducting inspections every day.  Every day Fire Inspectors:

• Ensure life safety systems in structures and at events

• Respond to citizen and Police complaints of overcrowding, hazardous situations, unsafe events and conditions

• Work with developers, business owners, contractors, Homeland Defense and Fire Operations to ensure public safety

• Inspect state licensed facilities, including daycares, assisted living facilities, nursing homes and hospitals

• Protect the community through routine inspections at high hazard facilities like the petroleum tank farm, water service sites, and the airports

• Conduct high-rise inspections and evacuation drills

• Ensures our tourists and out-of-state visitors are not placed in unsafe environments through routine inspections of our convention center, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and public gatherings ​
