Arson / Investigations

Introduction:

Due to the destructive powers of fire, investigators must be aware of their surroundings. Fire scenes, as can be expected, are dangerous places. Fire investigators have a duty and a responsibility to themselves and to others to conduct a safe fire scene investigation. This includes working in pairs, wearing proper safety clothing, using proper respiratory protection, and remaining alert to fire scene hazards. Only with such safety precautions instituted can the investigator commence the scene investigation. The investigator must know what information is to be collected during the examination of the incident scene.
