Georgia Officials Search for Fake Fire Inspector

The Marietta Fire Department is looking for a man pretending to be a city fire inspector who is charging local businesses for fire inspections.

Marietta fire marshal Scott Tucker said the city does require annual inspections and fire extinguisher checks, but does not charge for them.

Tucker said one business paid a man dressed in dark pants and a blue shirt, similar to the firefighter's uniform, $50 for a bogus inspection.
