Fire Investigation for the Company Officer

Fire Investigation for the Company Officer is intended to supplement the approach to the challenges and problems faced by company commanders on the fireground.

Many fire department company officers and future company officers lack training in the science of fire investigation and a successful fire investigation often depends on the initial actions of the engine or truck company commander.
