Course detail: Basic Fire Investigation Essentials
This 10-day course utilizes National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, and NFPA1033, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigators, and other professional documents to address the technical and scientific knowledge and skills needed to conduct successful fire/arson investigations.
Using a combination of classroom instruction, activities, written assignments, and group projects, students will demonstrate the ability to conduct science-based fire investigations that culminate, when appropriate, in prosecution for the crime of arson.
Outdoor activities will require students to have work clothes, and boots, and be capable of processing a fire scene (bending, kneeling, and lifting up to 50 pounds).
