Arson Investigator
The City of Madison Fire Department Fire/Arson Investigation
Division has four full-time Fire/Arson Investigators who respond to
investigate the origin, cause, and circumstances surrounding fires and
explosions occurring in the City of Madison, as mandated by WI § 165.11
(1) and Madison General Ordinance 6.16.
Each member of the Fire/Arson Investigation
Division is a highly-skilled, aggressive investigator who actively
pursues people who engage in starting fires and furthermore, identifies
products that have caused fires with the objective of preventing
injuries and property damage.
Each member of the MFD Fire/Arson Investigation
Division rotates on-call responsibilities, which provides daily coverage
to respond to requests from Chiefs and Company Fire Officers while on
location.Fire/Arson investigation is a complicated endeavor that requires a
coordinated effort between the Madison Fire Department and the Madison
Police Department. This cooperative agreement started in 1976 with the
creation of the joint Fire/Police Fire/Arson Investigation Team, which
has improved our fire investigation, arson detection, and arson
investigation capabilities.
