Bobby,

ISFI 2008, the International Symposium on Fire Investigation Science and Technology is administered by NAFI, but is also co-sponsored by the NFPA, The University of Cincinnati (Fire Science Department), the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) International and its United States Branch. In previous years ISFI has also been co-sponsored by the British Fire Service College and the Eastern Kentucky University Fire and Safety Engineering Technology Program.

ISFI’s main thrust is not fire investigation training so much as a platform for the presentation of new ideas and fire research on all of the issues of fire investigation science, technology, methodology, and legal issues.

All of the presentations are published in the various years’ ISFI Proceedings. The only occasion in which an article is published which does not represent an actual lecture at the Symposium is if the scheduled speaker has unexpected not been available attend and actually give his or her speech.

ISFI 2008 is scheduled to be held at the University of Cincinnati May 19-21. Delegate registrations are still be accepted. I hope to see all of you there.
