New NFPA Certified Fire Investigators?
Date: March 15, 2007 02:19PM
This email was distributed and is news to me. Anyone hear of this before, and if so, what is your experience with it? From what I understand it is NOT a class, it is an actual NFPA Fire Investigator Certification. I would assume it is a public certification, but you know what they say about assumptions. This sounds especially interesting given all the recent posts and positions on NFPA 921.
