Open Letter to IAAI Membership

 

Dear Member,

 

In the July 2009 edition of the Fire and Arson Investigator (Volume 60, Number 1) an article entitled “Do not take “No Entry” for an Answer: OSHA Hazwoper Training Requirements Are Not Applicable To A Fire Investigator’s Duties And Functions At the Fire Scene” authored by William A. LeMire was published.  In the byline it notes that Mr. LeMire serves in a volunteer capacity as General Counsel for the IAAI. This article was not intended to be nor should it be interpreted as the official position of the IAAI nor should it be considered a policy statement of the IAAI.  I have spoke at great length with Mr. LeMire and it was his intent to provide his opinion and interpretation based on the reading of an OSHA interpretation letter regarding the applicability of 1910.120 to fire investigators and the appropriate OSHA guidelines.  His conclusions were drawn from this review and analysis.  Mr. LeMire stands firmly behind the opinions proffered in the article but it was not his intent to suggest that fire investigators are free from any safety requirements or possible OSHA oversight.

 

The interpretation letter authored by OSHA was prepared as a result of a request for interpretation regarding the participation in certain fire scene documentation processes where hazardous materials may or may not be present.  As all fire scene investigations are unique and contain a myriad of potential hazards, we believe it would be in the best interest of the IAAI and its membership to reframe this interpretation request in a broader context specifically asking OSHA for interpretation of the applicability of 1910.120 and other safety provisions to a number of different fire scene scenarios.  The crux of Mr. LeMire’s article was that HAZWOPER requirements do not typically apply to the duties of a fire investigator after the emergency response is over and that there are serious questions about who has the authority to exclude investigators from a scene based on lack of safety training or credentials. 

 

This is a very passionate issue, primarily in the private sector and we hope through further analysis and interpretive documents we may provide an even clearer picture of who ultimately has or does not have this type of authority.  Health and Safety are certainly primary concerns of the IAAI and interpretations relative to health and safety issues demand clarity.  Mr. LeMire has offered to assist the IAAI in seeking that clarity from OSHA. The IAAI remains committed to ensuring that fire investigators and their employers receive the clearest information and interpretation so that sound safety practices and policies are developed and implemented.

 

Robert J. Schaal

Howard,
 
Thank you for your interest with this.  I am in the process of doing some testing to see if I can determine one way or another this theory if you will call it, that Old Spice can be used as an accelerant.  I am also going to conduct it to see if an Accelerant K9 could in anyway detect it.
 
Thank you,

I have not had any incidents involving this type of liquid as an accelerant. Two courses of direction for you to go:
 
1)  Conduct your own tests to establish the Hypothesis
2)  Put the question on the IAAI or Fire Findings Forums.
 
The liquid may contain alcohol but your tests will confirm the ignitability an ignition temperatures.

Included in this course are helpful report checklists along with cross references to essential sections of NFPA 921, NFPA 1033, and ASTM standards.

Subject: Invitation - Request for AFG Peer Reviewers

 

Thu Jan 1, 2009 12:00 AM

Request for Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) Peer Reviewers

The IAAI is seeking 36 U.S. members in good standing to serve as peer evaluators for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.  While you will not be compensated as a reviewer, the Department of Homeland Security will cover travel costs, food and lodging. 

 

Grants Management is expecting a similar number of applications to be reviewed in 2009 as we had in 2008.  Therefore, we request 12 evaluators for each week for a total of 36 volunteer peer evaluators for the three 1-week review periods.

 

The evaluation periods are scheduled as follows with all evaluations taking place at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

 

       May 4-8                 Evaluation Group 1

       May 11-15             Evaluation Group 2

       May 18-22             Evaluation Group 3

 

Individuals volunteering to serve as evaluators should plan on traveling the day before the evaluation period and returning home the afternoon of the last day of the evaluation period.  Travel costs will be reimbursed, and food and lodging will be provided at NETC.  A support contractor will contact our selected volunteers to discuss the necessary travel arrangements and reimbursement if a privately owned vehicle is being used.  Transportation will be provided between the airport and NETC.  No salary is authorized for personnel volunteering to evaluate the Assistance to Firefighter grant applications.  Please be aware, for planning purposes, volunteer evaluators will be scheduled for the entire week.  Grants management procedures prohibit interchanging evaluators during any given week.

 

The IAAI requires that all reviewers be members of the International in good standing. They must possess knowledge about fire department apparatus, equipment and training. Members should have experience as members of apparatus committees or in equipment purchasing or in fire department management roles. Preference will be given to members who have never served as a Peer Reviewer. 

 

Interested IAAI members may apply by submitting the following:

 

1.     Name

2.     IAAI Member number

3.     Organizational name and position or title

4.     Mailing address

5.     Day and evening telephone numbers

6.     Email address

7.     Have you ever served as a fire grant peer reviewer?

8.     Preference for Evaluation Group dates as listed above

 

Information must be received in the IAAI Office no later than January 23, 2008 at 17:00 EST.  Email information to iaai@... with AFG Peer Review in the subject line.



Qualified applicants will be referred to the Department of Homeland Security who makes the final decision. In the event there are more than 36 applicants preference will be given to those members who have not served previously as a Fire Grant Peer Reviewer. Should there be an excess of 36 qualified applicants a random drawing will be held.

Winter Fire Safety



During the winter months, residential fires are more prevalent than they
are
in the spring or summer. This is due, in part, to an increase in the
number
of cooking and heating fires. With colder temperatures, many people
resort
to using fireplaces, wood stoves, space heaters, and alternative heating
methods such as cooking stoves to keep warm.



To ensure a fire safe winter season, be sure furnaces and chimneys are
professionally cleaned and smoke alarms are properly maintained and in
good
working condition.



  <http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/focus/> Learn More >



   _____

The United States Fire Administration recommends everyone should have a
comprehensive fire protection plan that includes smoke alarms,
residential
sprinklers, and practicing a home fire escape plan.

Subject: 2009 Arson Awareness Week Theme



I would like to ask International Association of Arson Investigators members for
input on a topic and theme for the 2009 Arson Awareness Week {AAW} Public
education campaign. The date for this year's AAW is May 3 - 9, 2009. The three
major goals of Arson Awareness Week are: 1) Create a national umbrella of
recognition and understanding of the arson problem in the U.S.; 2) Highlight
accomplishments and successes in arson prevention grant communities; 3) Promote
the dissemination of arson prevention information and materials. Recent themes
for Arson Awareness Week include Target Arson & Don't Get Burned; Abandoned
Building Mitigation; Arson is NOT a Victimless Crime; Juvenile Fire Setting: The
Preventable Arson; School Arson - A Burning Subject; Wildfire Arson -
Preparedness and Prevention; Vehicle Arson: Who Pays for this Crime and in 2008,
Toylike Lighters - Playing with Fire. The topic should address a specific type
of arson along with its impact and some resources. Please send your ideas to me
via e-mail communiqué - pam@... Thanks, Pam White * * * * *
