Fire inspectors inspect building plans to ensure that they meet fire codes. They also examine buildings to detect fire hazards and ensure that federal, state, and local fire codes are met. The Fire Protection Inspector Industrial and Commercial Structures (ICS) course is designed to prepare the students to obtain the state license in the Fire Protection discipline. The course covers the building use groups, types of construction, height and area, fire protection systems, and means of egress.
