\nWhile all fire investigators are familiar with NFPA 9 21 and NFPA 1033\, uncertainty about how best to apply them in the &ldquo\ ;real world&rdquo\; to the investigator&rsquo\;s strategic advantage durin g an origin and cause investigation persists in the fire investigation com munity. Everything about a fire investigator -- the origin and cause repor t\, and deposition/trial testimony -- should reflect a high working knowle dge of 921 and 1033 and should demonstrate that the origin and cause inves tigation was conducted in complete conformity with NFPA 921. This practica l course will provide fire investigators with the necessary tools to navig ate the various legal challenges to their expert qualifications and testim ony\, including how to draft an origin and cause report in full compliance with NFPA 921 and how to survive legal challenges to their expert qualifi cations and opinions under NFPA 1033.
