How do they match: Fire Inspectors and Investigators

  • Inspect buildings to detect fire hazards and enforce local ordinances and state laws, or investigate and gather facts to determine cause of fires and explosions.

  • Examine fire sites and collect evidence such as glass, metal fragments, charred wood, and accelerant residue for use in determining the cause of a fire.
  • Package collected pieces of evidence in securely closed containers, such as bags, crates, or boxes, to protect them.
