Home Inspectors in Every State Receive Fire Safety Certification

The National Institute of Fire Safety and Training (NIFAST) announced today that every state in the United States now has at least one NIFAST Licensed Fire Inspector. NIFAST Certified Fire Inspectors deliver faster, better outreach and relevance to the homeowner in the community. Licensed Home Inspectors have received comprehensive training that provides certification of exceptional fire safety knowledge and family fire safety training. Fire Inspections are crucial for families and for students in college. “Consumers will benefit by having a more comprehensive home inspection done by a NIFAST Licensed Inspector who is also a Licensed Home Inspector able to point out aspects of the home that a less qualified person might not see, stated Paul Balutis from Plymouth, Massachusetts, who recently earned his Fire Safety License. He continued, “The combination of Fire Safety training and Home Inspection experience is a natural combination that will give the consumer a synergy that would not otherwise be obtained from two separate inspectors.” James Bushart from Cassville, Missouri continued, “Many homeowners and home buyers either have or will inherit fire safety hazards that were built into their home by previous owners or contractors. The potential for massive property loss and death can lie hidden in attics, closets, basements and garages for years before they make the evening news.” NIFAST is a national organization recognized to be at the forefront of fire safety training in single family, multifamily and university housing. The company headquarters are in Port Clinton, Ohio. NIFAST is committed to providing fire safe home environments through licensing Fire Safety Inspectors with comprehensive education programs. “We are very pleased to work with InterNACHI professional home inspectors the newly licensed NIFAST Fire Safety Inspectors, stated Steve Smith, President of NIFAST. “InterNACHI's professional inspectors are trained and credentialed to deliver NIFAST programs will help to promote family fire safety and save lives. “InterNACHI inspectors are certified industry professionals committed to their profession”, says Nick Gromicko, founder of InterNACHI. “We are pleased that our members are able to receive the NIFAST training and certification, and we are told by our members that this additional training will make the inspectors’ client-families even safer.”
