Fire Investigations

A construction site fire in Clark County, NV, caused $90 million in damages, according to a recent article shared in the Daily Dispatch. The task force working to determine the fire’s cause includes fire investigation personnel from Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson, Nevada state, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). Chiefs Bob Horton and Jeff Buchanan spoke with Dan Heenan, who has 30 years of experience in the ATF as a Certified Fire Investigator, about the process of investigating fires and how this can help inform fire safety policies.
