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.

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.
Fire
investigations, in order to be successfully prosecuted, must be carefully
documented in accordance with uniform guidelines and professional standards.
This presentation is a successful time-tested prosecution report format that
covers these key components and provides prosecutors with sufficient background
to both present cases to the grand jury as well as to guide them through the
trial phase. Included in this course are helpful report checklists along with
cross references to essential sections of NFPA 921, NFPA 1033, and ASTM
standards.

Request for AFG Peer Reviewers
Thu Jan

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.

23, 2008 at 17:00 EST. Email information toiaai@...with AFG Peer Review in the

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.
This program will identify and discuss the cutting
edge issues faced by today’s fire investigation professionals beginning
with the fire scene investigation to the presentation of testimony in the
courtroom.
At the completion of the course you will be able to:
Protect an
investigation from spoliation, improper methodology, alternatives
theories.
Accommodate the
latest scientific and legal challenges to fire scene investigations.
Strategically
respond to a Daubert challenge.

and the importance of the use of the Scientific Method in fire investigations.

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.

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
