MCFR's
fire investigators pin-point the origin and cause of commercial,
residential and agricultural fires, responding to most fires
involving fatalities, commercial structures and significant
property losses.
When determining the origin and cause of a fire, investigators
do an exterior investigation first. They look at burn patterns
as well as interview witnesses and first responding
firefighters. All findings are documented, and these findings
often help MCFR better serve the public and safeguard citizens.
When firefighters know a fire hazard exists, they can warn
citizens and teach them fire safety and prevention.
