The personnel given the responsibility for fire and life safety inspections programs are members of the:

• A. Police Department
• B. Public Works
• C. City Council
• D. Fire Department

Answer: (D)

Fire and life safety inspections are performed by members of the Fire Department, typically through the fire prevention bureau or fire marshal. This team is trained in fire codes, occupancy safety, means of egress, fire protection systems, and hazard identification, and they review plans, issue permits, conduct inspections, enforce violations, and educate the public to reduce fire risk. Other departments handle different duties—Police for enforcement of laws, Public Works for infrastructure, and City Council for policy and budgeting—but the Fire Department is responsible for fire and life safety inspections because safeguarding occupants from fire hazards is the primary mission of the fire service.
