Fire Inspection Checklist
One of the functions of a fire prevention division is to conduct
inspections. You have been tasked by the fire marshal to
address the outdated fire inspection checklist that your agency
currently uses. Your assignment is to develop a two- to three-
page fire inspection form that identifies the inspection process
for commercial occupancies. Consider what you should be
looking for when conducting these inspections: improper
storage of flammable or combustible liquids, presence of smoke
detectors, or egress issues. Your inspection form should have
enough detail that if given to an engine company, the crew
would be able to perform the inspection with ease. Keep in
mind, these types of structures will most likely have some sort
of fire protection system such as a fire alarm or sprinkler
system.
In your checklist, highlight the major components and areas of
concern in yellow or aqua.
At the bottom of your checklist, compose an essay of at least
500 words in which you describe the benefits of the fire
prevention division’s involvement in the inspection plan review

process. Also, explain how creating a fire prevention plan can
be an effective fire prevention method for organizations within
a community. Be sure to use at least one outside source for your
essay, and ensure that proper APA formatting is used.
