Fire Investigator

Basic Fire Investigator Certification (formerly Arson Investigation)

The development of this Basic Fire Investigator Certification Course was partially funded through a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). The LEAA Grant supported the development of this course "to enhance the United States Fire Administration's efforts to provide arson prevention and control training to state and local jurisdictions responsible for combating the crime of arson."

The Basic Fire Investigator Certification course is designed for fire officers and firefighters to improve their skills in determining fire causes at the fire scene. The course begins with the study of the motivation of the arsonist and progresses through to the prosecution of the crime of arson. The goal of the course is to provide appropriate training to the firefighter and fire officer so as to make an impact in reducing arson crimes throughout the nation.
