\nThis course addresses the critical skills essential
to the effective investigation and evaluation of fires involving potential
electrical fire causes. This course utilizes state of the art techniques\
, practices\, protocols and standards to assist investigators to properly
and effectively evaluate electrical systems and associated components to a
scertain their role in a fire. Students will be provided with a basic know
ledge of electricity\, electrical circuits and distribution systems\, prop
er evaluation and recognition of common electrical faults and failures of
electrical components and circuits\, as well as a working knowledge of the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and how it applies to fire investigations.
The use of &ldquo\;Arc Mapping&rdquo\; will also be discussed and how it
can be effectively used to assist in fire origin determination. Participan
ts will also be able to demonstrate a general knowledge of electricity\, e
lectrical circuits\, systems and arc mapping principles through a series o
f instructor-led &ldquo\;hands-on&rdquo\; practical exercises.
