Explain the process of investigating a fire, from the arrival of first officer until the post-fire investigation

What will be an ideal response?


Best-case scenario has the officer arriving at the scene while the fire is still in progress. This will allow officers to observe the fire and interview witnesses to gather information. Most investigators will arrive after the fire is over and will attempt to reconstruct the fire. The steps that also can be addressed include: the burn pattern, the fire scene, the theory of fire, development of basic leads, identification and arrest and case preparation.
