Topics will include basic fire science/dynamics, fire investigation methodology, the scientific method, basic interviewing and information collection techniques, and exploration of fire setters and their sub-types.
As a practical exercise, students will be given the opportunity to explore methods of interviewing and information gathering to gain insight into how fire setters think.
