Have you ever been involved with a fire investigation either directly or indirectly as counsel, an adjuster, or investigator and wanted to explore a certain subject on fire investigation but did not know how to find the information? Well, it is as easy as typing www.interfire.org into your browser.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives, the American Re-Insurance Company, the National Fire Protection Association, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency/U.S. Fire Administration have teamed together to produce interFIRE VR, a comprehensive training tool for fire investigators. InterFIRE VR is an interactive training tool that someone can order and install onto their computer to train them on the field of fire investigation. Its sole purpose is to further the field of fire investigation by giving individuals the opportunity to train for free and learn how to properly conduct a fire investigation.
A website was developed to update and work in conjunction with this software. The website contains a wealth of information that assists individuals in using interFIRE VR as well as updating current information in regards to all aspects of fire investigation.
Some of the sections on the website are the Training Center, Resource Center, Message Board, and Insurance Information. In these sections, a person can find information on fire scene examination, interview and interrogations, examining insurance documents, legal updates, updated product recalls, and much, much more.
So, if you would like to learn more about the field of fire investigation, take some time and explore www.interfire.org. You can also visit The Warren Group website, www.warren-group.com, for additional fire articles.
