Arson.

1. The purpose of every investigator is to aid in the fight against arson. It’s to be used as a weapon-a weapon of knowledge against the perpetrator. Knowledge is the only effective tool we have to fight this enemy. The more that we know about the crime and the criminal, the better equipped we are to put the criminal away. To understand the crime, we have to know what evidence to look for during an investigation. To understand the criminal we need to understand the motive.

2. There is no worse crime than arson. It kills, destroys. It also pays. The arsonist almost always gets away with his crime and is rarely punished.

3. If arson is to be stopped, we have to educate ourselves to the facts – pull out heads out of the sand and realize the enormity of the situation. Arson is a crime, but it’s rarely treated as such. A man can burn down his house. The fire is extinquished and all too often, the cause of the fire is reported as “accidental” or “unknown”. The owner submits a claim and receives a check from his insurance company. Eventually, the increase in the number of fraudulent claims paid out by the insurance companies means higher premiums for the rest of us. We are all effected!

4. Contrary to popular belief, an arson fire can be identified. There is always evidence. A trained investigator can walk into a totally razed structure and find evidence that screams “arson”. Few people realize, including some fire–fighters and investigators, that fire doesn’t destroy evidence, it creates it.

5. It is important to know all facts from the beginning of a fire investigation to the end, through burned out buildings with charred bodies, and into the mind of the arsonist. One must know what evidence to look for, how the burned patterns can reveal the cause of the fire. Every investigator must have a guide of fire investigators and claim adjusters as they search for the origin and cause of the fire. It tells the investigator how to interview witnesses and how to read the body language of key suspects.
