Three out of four supervisors and six out of 15 inspectors in the Oakland Fire Department's Fire Prevention Bureau did not have a required certification, a city audit released earlier this month revealed.
Furthermore, when the Oakland City Auditor's office first inquired about the certification status of the supervisors and inspectors, the auditor's office was told everyone's certifications were up to date.
Not only are the certifications a minimum requirement, but it's also desirable for inspectors to get training beyond what's required for the certification, Ruby said. In December 2021, Ruby's office received another anonymous complaint alleging that the same employee, a supervisor, did not have a required certification. The complaint proved to be accurate.
The fire department did not immediately respond to a second request for comment regarding a possible faulty assumption under the chief's watch.
