Aimed at entry level fire investigators, this text offers a logical, step-by-step process for conducting a successful investigation. The author, an 18-year veteran of fire investigations, uses investigative methods and techniques to provide a systematic approach to the operation. From a foundation of fire dynamics and building construction, the book clearly explains how to start the on-site investigation, how to determine where the fire started, and the cause - accident or arson. It concludes with a thorough discussion of post-fire responsibilities such as report writing and preparation for court appearances.
