The first responder is often in the best position to make critical observations regarding a fire. The first responder can compare this fire to a similar fire and draw parallels between them for similar fire-behavior patterns. The observations of the first responder during the various stages of an incident are extremely critical. From the moment of dispatch through the overhaul phase, the first responder’s senses are exposed to countless stimuli, many of which can help make a determination of fire origin and cause. Without the first responder’s full attention, priceless information could be destroyed. This course will cover the important role that firefighters have in fire investigation.
