2. Do your fire inspectors conduct plans review? Yes (comments are provided to our Building Department)
3. Do your fire inspectors conduct inspections on new construction / alterations (building permit issued)? We conduct joint inspections with our Building Department when requested.
4. Does your building department pay the wages of your fire inspectors that do plans review? (Are they paid an hourly rate by the building department for their services?) No
5. Does your building department cover the cost of BCIN courses, building codes, exams and annual certification? No
