The Region of Queens is doubling the number of fire inspectors covering the county.<\/p>\n
At the only council meeting in August, Council appointed Myles Harlow as the second fire inspector. Harlow already works as a building inspector for the Region along with Tim Clattenburg who is currently the sole fire inspector for the entire municipality.<\/p>\n
Mayor Darlene Norman says an additional inspector will help manage the workload. \u201cWhen you think of all the commercial buildings that exist within any municipality, commercial meaning accommodations, eatery, they all have files and they are all subject to fire inspections, I believe, every three years. So, it is a considerable amount of work to do this,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n
While there are no set timelines for when an inspection must be completed from the time it is requested, Norman says inspectors work to get them done as soon as possible, and having building inspectors do double duty as fire inspectors will also provide efficiencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, if you\u2019re out in Hibernia area doing home inspections, then there\u2019s commercial businesses out there that since you\u2019re in the area, check those off in your file for fire inspection,\u201d said Norman. \u201cThose two staff members travel all over this county on a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Norman says Harlow will assume his new responsibilities immediately.<\/p>\n
