TCFP Plans Examiner Practice Test

If an agency lacks a plan reviewer, who is responsible for conducting the reviews?

1. Building inspector

2. Fire inspector II

3. Project manager

4. Site supervisor

The correct answer is: Fire inspector II

The correct answer is that the Fire Inspector II would be responsible for conducting the reviews if an agency lacks a plan reviewer. This role is specifically focused on fire safety regulations and building codes related to fire prevention and protection. A Fire Inspector II is trained to understand the intricacies of fire codes, safety measures, and compliance requirements, making them well-suited to review plans for adherence to these standards. In contrast, while a building inspector may have some understanding of building codes, their expertise is broader and not specifically tailored to fire safety regulations. A project manager typically oversees the overall progress of construction projects and may not have the specialized knowledge needed for detailed plan reviews concerning fire safety. The site supervisor is involved in the day-to-day work on-site but does not possess the necessary qualifications or focus required for fire code compliance reviews. Therefore, based on the specialized knowledge and focus on fire safety, the Fire Inspector II is the most qualified to conduct plan reviews in the absence of a plan reviewer.
