Book Description
An uncanny calm settles on the scene. The blaze is out. A soggy, sooty mess remains. Most of us wouldn't have a clue where to begin, yet fire and explosion investigators know precisely where and how to dig in. Other books in this series show that documents, fingerprints, a stray hair, fibers, bullets, tool marks, blood spatter, SNA, cigarette butts, insects, or even a simple candy wrapper can provide clinching proof in many legal cases—but fire and bombs destroy these bits of evidence. What clues can forensic scientists possibly glean from rubble and ash? Using real-life stories as examples, Explosives & Arson Investigation explores the world of fire—and bomb-scene investigation. From first-on-the-scene priorities to collecting and documenting evidence to lab analysis and its procedures, then finally assessing motive, this book reveals basic fire characteristics, what investigators look for, how they process what they find, the meaning of specific clues, and common motives—all while highlighting various forensic careers.

Book Description
This work explores the multifaceted aspects of the devastating crime of arson and will touch on the related subject of explosives and their use by criminals. We begin with a definition of the crime as identified in Law, including arson's classification as a crime and the usual punishment subsequent to conviction, and describe the body of the crime/elements necessary to prove an arson has occurred. An observation in-brief is given of statistical data revealing the impact that arson and related crimes has on our society. Finally, an examination will be presented as to how arson investigators today utilize the full spectrum of forensic science, along with traditional, relentless, and painstaking detective work to overcome the numerous challenges associated with what is arguably one of the most specialized areas of criminal justice -- arson investigation. This book comes highly acclaimed by both educators and individuals within the fire service and the criminal justice system.

Book Description
Scientific Protocols for Fire Investigation, Third Edition focuses on the practical application of fundamental scientific principles to determine the causes of fires. Originally published in 2006, the First Edition was very well received by fire investigators and those who work with them. Since fire investigation is a rapidly evolving field—driven by new discoveries about fire behavior—the Second Edition was published in late 2012. This latest, fully updated Third Edition reflects the most recent developments in the field. Currently, serious research is underway to try to understand the role of ventilation in structure fires. Likewise, there is improved understanding of the kinds of errors investigators can make that lead to incorrect determinations of the causes of fires. In addition to the scientific aspects, the litigation of fire related events is rapidly changing, particularly with respect to an investigator's qualifications to serve as an expert witness. This book covers these latest developments and ties together the changing standards for fire investigations with the fundamental scientific knowledge presented in the early chapters of the book. The book is intended for those individuals who have recently entered the field of fire investigation, and those who are studying fire investigation with a plan to become certified professionals. In addition, professionals in the insurance industry who hire fire investigators will find this an invaluable resource. Insurance companies have sustained significant losses by hiring individuals who are not qualified, resulting in cases being settled or lost at a cost of millions. Insurance adjusters and investigators will learn to recognize quality fire investigations and those that are not up to today's standards. Lastly, this book is also for the many attorneys who litigate fire cases. Written with language and terms that make the science accessible even to the non-scientist, this new edition will be a welcome resource to any professional involved in fire and arson cases.

Book Description
"This is a curriculum based on the 2022 Edition of NFPA 1033: Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigators. This is a major overhaul from the previous edition which was organized to follow the structure of NFPA 921: Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations. After meeting with the Executive Director of IAAI and the Director of Training and Education at IAAI, it was decided the structure of the program needs to drop the 921 structure and be based solely on NFPA 1033 and the associated JPRs"--
