In the excitement of fighting fires, do firefighters pay attention to details that will assist in the discovery of cause and origin? FETN's Fire Cause training will look at observations that firefighters need to identify cause and origin, other important information sources, and how firefighting operations affect the fire scene for investigation.
Understanding basic concepts and fundamental patterns will assist firefighters in recognizing common fire behavior patterns and clues left behind at every fire scene - the first step of several in a firefighters job of determining the origin and cause of fires.
