Fire Investigation

A fire investigation is like a puzzle. Everyone involved with it has some of the pieces, but no one has the whole picture. It is up to the fire investigator to collect enough pieces in order to solve the puzzle.

Why Investigate Fires

Accidental: Fires of accidental cause need to be identified so that dangerous practices can be eliminated, or so that dangerous and defective products can be identified as posing a fire risk and subsequently taken off the market.

Arson: Fires of deliberate cause must be detected so the responsible person can be intercepted before doing more harm and punished as necessary for the welfare and security of the community.

Fire Inspection

Fire prevention is the single most important non-emergency activity performed by the fire service. It is easier and safer to prevent a fire than to manage a fire scene.

The fire inspector helps to educate business owners, occupants, and residents in order to empower them to control hazards and use fire safe practices within their occupancies.

The fire inspector must understand how fires start and spread in order to recognize fire hazards and there potential consequences. Other aspects of fire inspection are; building plan review, and fire safety consultations.
