Dear Fire/Explosion Investigation Professional:

We want to commend you on your interest in the Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI) Program. Your desire to become certified shows your commitment and professionalism.

As you may know, The National Association of Fire Investigators was organized in 1961 by a group of fire and explosion investigation professionals who recognized the need for an organization which would provide timely and topical professional training and education for its members who were involved in the investigation and analysis of fire and explosion incidents and the civil and criminal litigation which ensues from such investigations and analyses. To that end, the primary goal of the National Association of Fire Investigators is to increase the knowledge and improve the skills of its members relative to the investigation and analysis of fire and explosion incidents.

To accomplish this goal, the National Association of Fire Investigators has become the recognized leader in the field of fire and explosion investigation and analysis through its sponsorship of international, national and regional professional training and education programs.

Through its International Certification Board, established in 1982, the National Association of Fire Investigators administers the Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI), Certified Fire Investigation Instructor (CFII) and Certified Vehicle Fire Investigator (CVFI) certification programs. These programs serve to recognize and document the knowledge, training, education and experience of qualified investigators and instructors.

This booklet contains the information necessary to participate in the CFEI program. We hope you will find it useful. Should you have any questions after your review of these materials, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

National Association of Fire Investigators
