A Global Endeavor to Communicate Fire Knowledge

The Fire Preventionist generally works with the existing building inventory of a jurisdiction. The title for this job has lots of names as determined by the various institutions and organizations s/he works for. The basic task is to manage the jurisdiction so it remains at its current Fire Risk level or lower.

While some Fire Marshals are restricted as to the buildings they can work with, others limit their work to larger buildings. Some are now beginning to paint the fire risk picture so the building owner begins to want improment beyond the "Code". Some are charging for this extra work.

Several persons in this part of the Fire Community have offered to assist those with questions, or those who are exploring our professions to see if a career is this area might be appealing. The people available can be found on the Advisors page.
