This is the New CFI—beyond code, built on judgment, and driven by real-world inspection skills. Fire inspection was once about checklists and code references; today, it’s about what you see, what you test, and the decisions you make on site. Inspectors no longer review checklists to memorize items, but to verify real conditions.

Sprinkler systems are not assumed to work, they are tested. Manual pull stations are checked for correct height, accessibility, and operation. Panic hardware is pushed, released, and evaluated under real use. Staircases are measured for tread, riser, and consistency because safe egress depends on precision. Fire doors are inspected for clearances, self-closing action, and integrity because seconds matter in an emergency. Egress paths are traced to ensure they are unobstructed, illuminated, and continuous—because people don’t escape on paper.

The New CFI is not just about knowing standards; it’s about applying them, assessing risk, and protecting lives.
