Fire Investigations<br />
Associate of Applied Science Degree<br />
527-7746<br />
Fire investigations is a complex field borrowing from several other<br />
disciplines. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, fire investigators<br />
often find themselves playing more than one role.<br />
In their role as detectives, they use a variety of methods to search for<br />
clues as to how, where, and why a fire occurred. For example, an investigator<br />
may check burn patterns and wiring, interview witnesses,<br />
and use sniffing dogs or air-sampling machines to detect gasses. This<br />
evidence can then be used to demonstrate probable cause in court.<br />
At other times, fire investigators may act as law enforcement agents<br />
who have the authority to swear out warrants and arrest suspects.<br />
The Fire Investigations program at DACC provides a foundation for<br />
those seeking a career in this challenging field, as it emphasizes the<br />
application of scientific principles and subsequent legalities related<br />
to fire and criminal investigations.<br />
Certification is not granted automatically upon completion of this<br />
program. Those planning to seek employment in the field of fire<br />
investigations should consult the various associations granting certification.<br />
