Overview
This groundbreaking new book offers fire inspectors, building code officials, and anyone in the field of building inspections a valuable resource that goes beyond understanding the codes to actually teaching how to enforce them. From filing charges for non-compliance to obtaining inspection search warrants to closing unsafe structures, inspectors today need to have effective documentation tools and skills to pursue fire code violators in an appropriate manner, but are often required to do so with minimal legal training. In response to this, The Fire Official's Guide was developed, providing inspectors with a comprehensive set of the notices, letters, complaints and other documents that are critical to the effective enforcement of today's most common problems and violations of the International Fire Code (R). Also ideal for municipal attorneys who can use the included forms to draft legal documents, this book provides all the forms necessary to keep reporting accurate, consistent, and efficient.

Reviews
The authoras approach is to be simple but explicit in detail for the new or seasoned fire inspector to interpret. There are numerous referenced documents, but most fail to provide adequate examples and none provide a CD with sample forms, letters and referenced documents. This is a great companion to the International Fire Code. The three greatest strengths of the textbook are ease of understanding, sample forms and letters, and explicit explanation for forms and letters and how to avoid pitfalls. - W.G. Shelton Jr., Executive Director at Virginia Department of Fire Programs
