The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) is delighted to welcome the publication of the Fire Investigation Fire Standard by the Fire Standards Board.
The Fire Investigation Fire Standard focuses on ensuring Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) deliver effective, efficient, and valid fire investigations into the origin, cause, and development of fire.

The development of this standard has been led by NFCC Lead for Fire Investigation, Chris Blacksell as part of the NFCC Fire Investigation Committee.
A desired outcome of the Fire Investigation Fire Standard is that services will have a competent and resilient capability to undertake fire investigations, adhering to relevant legislation, guidance, and codes of practice.
Guidance for fire investigation
Chair of the NFCC, Mark Hardingham said, “The Fire Investigation Fire Standard aims to bring consistency to fire investigation, delivering procedural guidance based on sector good practice.”
“Thank you to all those who have contributed to the development of the standard, and in particular Chris Blacksell, NFCC Lead for Fire Investigation.”
