Fire Investigator
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you are a fire cause and origin investigator, you need this book! If you don't use it, you can bet an attorney will use it against you in civil or criminal proceedings. This book should be right next to your NFPA 921. DeHahn writes in a pragmatic and easy to understand format. I understand that the 6th ed. is getting ready for relase so you might wait a couple of weeks and get the latest. Bravo Dr. DeHaan, you've done it again!
Must-read for anyone seeking to understand fire behavior!

Written in an understandable, practical manner, this book makes a difficult subject comprehensible by even the unscientifically minded.The author writes clearly and the book is very readable. The text is accompanied by great photographs & illustrations. What a relief to find this book after attempting to plow through some of the other texts on this subject. Highly recommended!

The chief god of fire investigation has spoken. DeHaan wrote a complete and through text about fire investigation. If you are serious about fire investigation, this is a must book in your library. It is a tough book in read. So, buy it and review it again and again.

Many myths and tales still exist about the principle of fire behavior and burn pattern analysis, but John Dehann quickly puts those to rest every time a new edition of this book is published. This edition is no exception. For those who aspire to become an arsonist for fun or profit and feel by reading this book you'll get some helpful hints - beware, this book will not help you it will hinder you, and help those of us who hunt you in trapping you at your own game. A must have as a resource manual that augments NFPA 921 for the fire investigator whether public or private.
If you want to understand fire behavior, this is the book!

I first came in contact with this book while attending theIllinois Fire Service Institute fire investigation modules. I haveread many other books concerning fire behavior and fire investigation, but I feel that this book is the most comprehensive over all. It not only gives you the basics in fire investigation but also the hard scientific knowledge to understand what happens when fires occur. I have used this book for several years as an investigator and find myself returning to it time and time again. This book is also a must for preparing cases for court. The author is a reknowned leader in the field of forensic fire investigation and is widely respected for his approach in regards to this subject. If you have any questions you can contact me at my e-mail address. Thank you, Jeffrey A. Miller CFI/CAI Mt.Vernon Fire Department
