Re: What happens when you SAY you meet 1033 but don't

If you want to use 1033 as the measuring stick to determine if a person should be investigation fires, I think you will not be having many people in both the private and public sector that will not qualify. It is easy to say they should get out of the business.
How long will it take a person using CFITrainer to bring himself current in all the JPR’s that are in 1033. Are you saying it is ok for them to stay in the business until they reach that goal. What is your definition of staying current? It is not defined in 1033.
I do not see you or other who believe the way you do campaigning to have fire suppression quit investigation fires and doing reports where they list the cause of the fire. I am in agreement in getting the out of the business of listing the cause of fires. Why are you and other not pounding NFPA for supporting this activity. If NFPA believes in 1033 they should be against the NFPA 901. In that document they do not restrict anyone but those qualified by 1033 to determine the cause of a fire incident. I they believe like you, they should withdraw this document. There seem to be a double standard. If NFPA is unwilling to meet the requirements, they set in 1033 then they should find another line of work if I understand you. The cause of fire is their bread ad butter. That is the foundation for showing the needs for the standards they produce.
