The IAAI Motor Vehicle Fire Investigation 3 day course consists of 24
hours of tested instruction in determining origin and cause of motor vehicles
fires, and culminates in an investigation of a live burn vehicle fire scenario.
Based on Chapter 27 of NFPA 921, topics will include vehicle investigation
safety, fuel packages, ignition sources, and vehicle systems and
identification. Included in the
instruction is a live electrical demonstration showing how fuses, fusible links
and relays work, as well as real time failures such as overloads and
shorts. Utilizing the team concept, students will have the opportunity to
investigate a live burn, construct a report, and present their findings to the
class. The IAAI Motor Vehicle Fire
Investigation 3 day course satisfies the Specialized Training Requirement of
the IAAI Motor Vehicle Fire Credential Endorsement program.
Hosts for this
class must provide a training facility conducive to the size of the class
expected, and audio visual equipment that supports class size and a PowerPoint
presentation. Additionally, they must
provide an area suitable for burning vehicles to be used in the
instruction. They must procure, site,
and dispose of enough vehicle to support the class, as well as coordinate
suppression for the actual burns. IAAI Training will discuss these issues with
you when scheduling the class.
