Inspector's Boot Camp

05/12/2026

The impact of Inspector’s Boot Camp has never been about the program itself. It’s about the people who show up, put in the work, and take what they learn back into the field.

As the 20th anniversary celebration comes to a close, the focus stays where it belongs: on the professionals carrying that work forward.

Every graduate, every team, every BuildingReports member applying these skills in real-world inspections is what moves fire and life safety forward.

We’re proud to support a community that’s committed to doing the job right and raising the bar every day.

Still thinking about last week’s Inspector's Boot Camp.

Another incredible group of professionals came through ready to learn, get hands-on, and level up their inspection skills. From NFPA 72 application to real-world scenarios, the energy, focus, and commitment in the room never disappoints.

Huge congratulations again to our latest graduates! We’re excited to see the impact you’ll make out in the field.

Congratulations to the latest Inspector’s Boot Camp graduates.

After a full week of hands-on training, NFPA 72 application, and real-world inspection scenarios, these professionals leave with stronger skills, deeper knowledge, and greater confidence in the field.

For 20 years, Inspector’s Boot Camp has equipped fire and life safety professionals with the expertise to perform at a higher level, drive consistency, and help raise the standard of fire and life safety inspections across the industry.

Well done to all.

As Inspector’s Boot Camp continues this week at Oklahoma State University, students are diving deep into automatic sprinkler systems through both classroom instruction and hands-on lab work.

Resources like this NFPA walkthrough of wet pipe systems help reinforce the fundamentals behind what’s being taught, connecting system functionality, real-world applications, and inspection workflows.

A strong complement to a week focused on building knowledge, consistency, and confidence in the field.

NFPA continues to set the standard for education in the fire and life safety industry.

This walkthrough of wet pipe fire sprinkler systems breaks down how they function, where they’re used, and the key components behind them, bringing clarity to one of the most widely deployed system types.

Northeast Automatic Sprinkler Co., Inc., a valued BuildingReports partner of 15+ years, is also featured in the video, showcasing BuildingReports barcodes in real-world inspection workflows.

A strong resource for both new professionals and experienced teams reinforcing the fundamentals.
