Yes, as John indicates, 'the times they are a changin' for forensic fire investigators and engineers.
NAFE is actively recruiting to not only join its organization, but also become members of ASTM E58. As our numbers increase and the presentations continue at NAFE seminars, we are reminding all that forensic engineering is indeed a forensic science.
For those of you who are ASTM members, please select to enroll in the E58 committee to allow a forum for our voices to be loudly heard.
