\nThe 10th E
dition of NFPA 921 and the 7th Edition of NFPA 1033 bring big changes to t
he two documents that have had the greatest impact on how fires are invest
igated and how fire cases are litigated. This webinar will provide a very
high-level overview of the major changes to the documents and how they wil
l impact both the investigation and the investigator. Not only is it impor
tant for the investigator to know and understand these changes\, it is equ
ally important for those who retain and vet investigators. Retaining inves
tigators who are not remaining up to date with the most current informatio
n on these important documents can have an adverse effect on your case. Th
is webinar will be presented by the current Chairman of the NFPA 921 Commi
ttee and a member of the NFPA 1033 Committee.
