The NMFR Fire Prevention Bureau also handles all Fire Investigation activities. Each and every fire and emergency response incident has some form of investigation conducted. The Fire Marshal and Shift Inspectors/Investigators conduct the investigations with the assistance of the operations crews on scene. If the incident appears to be criminal in nature, the police department and potentially the state department of justice may be called in to assist with potential criminal prosecution.

A great deal of training, knowledge, and expertise goes into each of the fire prevention activities conducted on a daily basis at NMFR. NMFR is very proud to have the extensive combined years of experience & knowledge from an outstanding fire prevention and investigation team!!
