Every home has a few skeletons in the closet.
An old extension cord tucked behind the couch.
Last year’s string lights still plugged in on the porch.
A space heater pushed a little too close to the curtains.

The scariest part? Those problems don’t stay hidden. Fire scenes have a way of revealing what got overlooked. Check the hidden corners before Halloween night. Happy Halloween from all of us at NAFI. 🎃

CFEI is the oldest and most widely held fire investigation certification, and more professionals choose it than any other. It’s the only fire investigator certification based solely on the scientific principles of NFPA 921. Administered by NAFI’s National Certification Board, it’s a registry that recognizes qualified investigators and sets a benchmark for your credentials. If you’re ready to put your experience on record, start with the CFEI application.

NAFI is proud to be in attendance for the conversations taking place at the IACP Arson and Explosives Committee meeting.

One important take away from my time at the meeting is: Fire investigation is a diverse industry, and our strength comes from recognizing and embracing that diversity. From public-sector investigators and law enforcement to private-sector investigators, insurance professionals, fire service personnel, engineers, attorneys, and forensic specialists, each brings a unique perspective, expertise, and experience to the table.

No single approach or background defines this profession. Collaboration, continued education, and the exchange of ideas across disciplines are essential to strengthening our collective knowledge and advancing the science and practice of fire investigation.

At NAFI, we believe that bringing these different perspectives together makes our profession stronger and helps move the entire industry.

Every investigator has their own strength. For some it's attention to detail, for others it's asking the right questions or staying calm under pressure.
