Fire Investigation for the Company Officer

Fire Investigation for the Company Officer is intended to supplement the approach to the challenges faced by company commanders on the fireground.
Many fire department company officers and future company officers lack training in the science of fire investigation, and a successful fire investigation often depends on the initial actions of the engine or truck company commander. This text provides company officers with tools to preserve a fire scene and conduct a preliminary investigation into the cause of the fire and possibly identifying witnesses, victims, and even suspects. This book is a valuable addition to any fire investigation class.
Recognizing the cause and origin of any fire is a complicated undertaking that should be approached in a systematic and scientific manner, and that depends on good training and good methods. Fire Investigation for the Company Officer provides that training to current fire department officers and those wishing to become fire department officers.
