05-04-17 Chattanooga Firefighters Receive Top Honors
The fire investigation division of the Chattanooga Fire Department dates back to 1983 when the Fire Prevention Bureau was formed. The division has grown over the years and seen significant advancements in the technology and skills required in the field of arson investigation. Chattanooga's fire investigators are trained as firefighters, but they also must go through the police academy as well. They are armed and have full arrest powers. Their principal job is to determine the cause and origin of fires. When arson is involved, they conduct investigations, interview suspects, and when necessary, prosecute cases to the fullest extent of the law.
