The course is designed to be taught in a week long period but can be spread out over time depending on the needs of the agency or department.

Everything about a fire investigator including his or her curriculum vitae, origin and cause report, and deposition/trial testimony should reflect a high working knowledge of 1033 and 921, and should demonstrate that the origin and cause investigation was conducted in complete conformity with NFPA 921. This practical course will provide fire investigators with the necessary tools to survive the various legal challenges to their expert qualifications and testimony, including: how to draft a gold standard curriculum vitae in full conformity with NPFA 1033; how to draft an origin and cause report in full conformity with NFPA 921; and how to survive legal challenges to your expert qualifications and opinion under NPFA 1033 and Daubert.

These standards provide the basis for fire investigator training and this is your opportunity to ask questions and interact with the presenter. Who Are You Going to Call: Resources for the Fire Investigator Fire investigators today are confronted with diminishing resources and need to take advantage of their networks and the latest technology to access information, build teams and get the job done. There are a number of resources, agencies and services that many investigators may have never known were available to them. The initial plan is for the training program to provide the investigator with a scenario followed by a series of streamlined presentations that will unfold details and contacts on a federal, state, local and Internet level Evidence Collection Training Las Vegas, NV 18 19
