Four members of the University Heights Fire Department were among the 31 students who recently completed the International Association of Arson Investigators’ Fundamentals of Fire Investigation Course in Brunswick.

This five-day course strengthened the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and preserve evidence, support origin-and-cause investigations, and apply investigative findings to fire prevention and community safety.

Congratulations to our members on completing this valuable training, and thank you to the IAAI and the Brunswick Division of Fire for hosting the program.
