Fire Investigators

Unions and Associations

Fire investigators who are also firefighters can join the International Association of Fire Fighters, a union that represents nearly 350,000 full-time firefighters and paramedics in more than 3,500 affiliates. Many professional organizations offer continuing education, certification, publications, and job listings. For example, the National Association of Fire Investigators provides membership, certification, continuing education opportunities, and the International Symposium on Fire Investigation Science and Technology. The International Association of Arson Investigators offers membership, professional development opportunities, and publications. The International Code Council, National Fire Academy, and the National Fire Protection Association are also good resources.
