FAQs about Arson Investigators by Gerald Hurst, Ph.D. Q. What is the difference between a state arson investigator or fire marshal and an insurance fire investigator? A. State investigators and fire marshals are usually certified by the State. Insurance investigators get their certifications mostly from the IAAI (International Association of Arson Investigators) The IAAI is heavily influenced by insurance companies. This partly accounts for the IAAI's official stance that fire investigation is an art rather than a science and should therefore not be subject to the Daubert standards. Daubert allows a judge to keep junk science out of the courtroom. I consider certification by the IAAI as just another paper to hang on the wall. Q. To whom do these investigators report? A. State investigators and fire marshals often report to the state insurance commissioner. Insurance commissioners are subject to heavy lobbying by the insurance industry and work hand-in-glove with them. Insurance investigators usually work for independent investigation companies which are hired by the insurance companies to keep the illusion that they are using unbiased people. However, an investigator may get 90% of his business from a single company. He keeps this volume business by giving the insurance company what it wants: to avoid paying for fire damage. The net result is that insurance investigators tend to find much more arson than really exists. Q. Who teaches and trains fire investigators?
