For the team at the Forensic Investigations Group, training and education aren’t just boxed-off requirements – they are vital ongoing pursuits. The group firmly believes that comprehensive training is integral to any profession, fire investigation included.
“As science and technology continually advance, education is essential for fire investigators to remain cognizant of developments and their applicability to fire investigations,” states Forensic Investigations Group. Failing to stay current on the latest techniques and tools would be a disservice to both their work and the fire investigation field.
Beyond just technical mastery, training cultivates an ethos of professionalism. “Education contributes to a level of respect as practitioner of the science,” the group notes. Fire investigation demands scientific rigor, and continuous learning ensures they apply truly expert-level methods.
The Forensic Investigations Group walks the walk by emphasizing training attendance among their own team members. Investigators participate in multi-day courses covering critical domains like fire dynamics, evidence collection, interviewing, report writing, and courtroom testimony skills.
But their commitment goes further – the group also travels nationwide providing in-depth training and lectures for others in the fire investigation profession. Their instructors share cutting-edge knowledge and best practices cultivated through decades of combined experience.
As new technologies like aerial drone imaging emerge, these educational opportunities prove vital for all fire investigators to stay ahead of the curve. The field’s credibility hinges on this dedication to lifelong learning.
For the Forensic Investigations Group, training is the backbone allowing them to apply scientific principles and modern techniques to accurately determine fire causes and origins. It’s an integral investment that elevates their work and the profession at large.
