BLM Fire Investigation

Fire investigators are trained in specialized skills and techniques, using the scientific method in determining the origin and cause of a fire.

Working with law enforcement, fire crews, and all jurisdictional agencies, fire investigators document the cause of the fire and all relevant facts. The agency reviews investigations to determine the appropriate action to take. Actions may include recovering costs via administrative authority, prevention or mitigation measures, education campaigns, or pursuing civil/criminal suits.
