With the addition of part-time Fire <br />Inspectors, they will be conducting up to 20 hours per week (total hours per <br />week for all part-time inspectors) of inspections and also the required report <br />writing and documentation as needed. Approximately 10 to 14 hours of in <br />the field inspections along with 10 hours of follow up and report writing will <br />be necessary to complete the inspection process.
