If fire investigators had to finish medical school, or even college, the comparison might be apt. But that is not the case. The differences between fire investigation and medical practice far outweigh any similarities.
Nobody could ever really articulate how fire investigation involved "art." I always thought it involved hard work and some luck.
The NFPA TC did the right thing when the reference to art was taken out of the 2001 edition.
