Your work will also involve creating increased safety and understanding regarding fire safety, handling of fireplaces, how to burn correctly, etc., through communication with those you meet in your work.

As a fire inspector with us, you will have good conditions to perform your work with high quality and be an active part of creating a safer community for those living and staying in our member municipalities.
