NFPA 1033, Standard For Professional Qualifications For Fire Investigator 2022 Edition ISBN: 978-1455928156

The 2022 edition of NFPA 1033, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator, identifies the minimum job performance requirements necessary to serve as a fire investigator in both the private and public sectors. This standard applies to all fire investigations, including outside, vehicle, and other fires that are not structural. Personnel need to be prepared with the most up-to-date knowledge when facing fire risks, arson, and other hazards in both the private and public sectors. Updates were made to align the 2022 edition of NFPA 1033, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator, more closely with NFPA 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, because it is common practice for fire investigators to use both standards. Requirements were also updated and simplified for end users' understanding and ease of use. The actions and conclusions of fire investigators can have serious consequences from legal and economic standpoints, so it is essential that they be fully qualified to evaluate the situation and circumstances so they can conduct complete, accurate investigations.
