Premier Chimney and Roofing maintains the F.I.R.E. Certified Inspector® credential through Fireplace Investigation, Research & Education (F.I.R.E.).
This advanced certification focuses on forensic-level chimney inspection, defect identification, structural risk assessment, and documentation standards.

Our F.I.R.E. Certified Inspector credential can be confirmed through the official F.I.R.E. certification search directory.
What the F.I.R.E. Certification Covers
The F.I.R.E. program emphasizes:
- Advanced chimney defect identification
- Internal flue evaluation
- Structural chimney analysis
- Clearance to combustibles verification
- Fire event investigation principles
- Documentation and reporting standards
This training goes beyond basic sweeping and cleaning procedures.
Why This Certification Matters
Many chimney defects are hidden internally.
Without proper training, contractors may:
- Miss liner deterioration
- Overlook combustible clearance violations

A F.I.R.E. Certified Inspector is trained to evaluate chimney systems comprehensively and document findings accurately.
