FIRE INVESTIGATION TEAM

Being a Fire Investigator requires a great deal of commitment and continuous training. It can be very time consuming to investigate a fire, interview witnesses, document the fire, and write a report of the findings. It is, however, a commitment we are willing to make to keep our community and its members safe.
