While all fire investigators are familiar with NFPA 921 and NFPA 1033, uncertainty remains in the fire investigation community about how best to apply 921 and 1033 in the "real world" to the investigator's strategic advantage during an origin and cause investigation. Everything about a fire investigator’s origin and cause report, and deposition/trial testimony, should reflect a high working knowledge of 921 and 1033, and should demonstrate that the origin and cause investigation was conducted in complete conformity with NFPA 921. This practical course will provide fire investigators with the tools to survive legal challenges to their expert qualifications and testimony, including how to draft an origin and cause report in full conformity with NFPA 921 and how to survive legal challenges to their expert qualifications and opinions under NFPA 1033 and Daubert.
