There are three access scuttles. I just spoke to the fire inspector. He agreed to inspect from the scuttles and accept video of what he can't see from the scuttles. So the ceilings stay intact.

Am an old inspector with bad knees. I have been allowing videos with smart phones more and more as my knees get worst.
You young whipper snappers,,

Oh I'm pretty sure there will be a coffee stain before it's over.
The fact that the fire dept causes people to tear out ceilings is beyond outlandish. I don't understand how they get away with that. The public gets spitting mad over minor corrections that I write. If I told someone to rip out a ceiling so that I could see in the attic....well darn ....I would be enrolled in anger management training....with a side of 832PC......and I would need it. I can see the protestors gathering now.
And I had to talk him into it. The fact that I too am an inspector made the difference....that, and well I did embellish some....we're gonna need a wheelchair for the owner ....I'll Google how to make a leg cast? Crutches I have.

if that is so true woudn't all of us run of the mill building inspectors be on workmen's comp. Yes there is a lot of workmen's comp for fire fighters who get injured on the scenes. I have worked with two fire marshals that went through shoulder surgery (and both were "questionable" workmen's comp) but I have never had a fire marshal who wouldn't work at least a little.
