DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS:

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to inspect properties for conformance with federal, state, county, and locally recognized laws, codes, ordinances, regulations, and standards. Fire Prevention Specialists II are responsible for performing advanced technical fire prevention, complex plan review, and inspection work that is of a diversified and complex nature. Employees in this classification work independently in the field and are responsible for decision-making requiring discretion, judgment, and familiarity with laws, codes, ordinances, regulations, and standards. The Fire Prevention Specialists II provide analysis and approval of plans, specifications, and construction documents for buildings, processes, operations, and fire protection systems and equipment to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards. Compliance is ordered when violations are discovered. Incumbents provide technical advice of moderate complexity to City staff, private developers, and the general public. The Fire Prevention Specialists II may perform general inspections, new construction inspection, plan review, or other duties related to fire prevention codes, ordinances, regulations, or standards. This classification differs from the Fire Prevention Specialist I in that there is greater complexity in inspections and there is a higher level of complex plan review and a greater amount of independence required.
