Fires can occur with many factors leading to the actual ignition or start of the fire known as the cause. Fire investigations are critical for the safety of the community and the firefighters that serve that same community.
Looking for a cause of a fire can uncover a malfunctioning product, a malicious act or an accident that could not have been prevented but no matter what the cause learning what may have started a fire can save lives and property later down the road.
The Fire Marshal’s Office acts as an investigations unit to help support the fire chiefs in the county performing fire investigations when called upon to do so.
