A fire tender inspection is a regular check of a fire tender's condition to ensure it is in good working order. A fire tender inspection checklist typically covers the following areas of the vehicle:

Transmission system: Transmission system
Wheels: Wheels
Rear axle: Rear axle
Springs: Springs
Brakes: Brakes
Steering system: Steering system

The inspection is usually carried out on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. Officers check the inspection and include any comments in the report.
A fire inspection is also a building inspection carried out by the fire department to assess fire hazards and how well they are managed. The inspection determines if the building meets all fire safety standards and codes.
