Yup....fire inspectors can be little Nazis at times... Especially the new ones...

Long story made short...I had one come in one day into our warehouse and wanted me to put in an additional 20,000 worth of sprinklers into our racking system....we have a sprinklers already..... But she wanted us to drop down into every section of rack an additional head.... The reason still evades me...

We were in a warehouse complex were probably 75 % of the other businesses had similar racking set ups...I told her when every other warehouse in the complex complies come back and see me....

Fire Marshall come out to see what the problem was....and basically told me....she is a rookie and he will correct the inspection report...

Better keep the fire inspectors away from the Little Bear in Evergreen, CO:

I was working a remodeling job on a night club and the inspector came in to check
the progress. The Inspector was a laid back guy, easy going type. The Manager thought he would
be smart and jokingly said "You guys don't take bribes anymore" and laughed. Well,
the club didn't open for another two weeks and cost them another 10k to make everything Perfect,
and I mean perfect in every way. The manager was fired, of course.
