About Fire Examiners

Our Story

Fire Examiners was built on a simple belief: every firestop system deserves expert, independent verification.

What started as a focused mission to protect lives and property through rigorous inspection has grown into a trusted national resource for third-party firestop special inspections, pre-construction reviews, and remediation oversight.

Today we combine deep technical knowledge of ASTM E2174, ASTM E2393, and IBC requirements with real-world field experience to deliver reports that stand up to the toughest scrutiny.

AHJs, owners, and insurers need reports they can rely on. We write for that audience: specific, usable, and tied to the standards that apply.

Integrity

Firestop issues show up on the critical path. We prioritize clear communication, timely field presence, and documentation that helps the project move.

Trust

As an independent third-party firestop special inspection provider, we document findings clearly and stand behind the accuracy of our reports. We are accountable to owners, AHJs, and contractors for timely, defensible information that supports safe, compliant closeout.

Accountability

Life safety assemblies are not paperwork theater. Inspection quality and remediation follow-through are how those assemblies earn their place on the job.
