This interactive lecture explores complexities in fire investigations. An investigation may be complex because of its size, scope, or duration. Complexity results whenever a fire occurs in a very large occupancy building, involves loss of life or high-value property loss, or requires coordination with various other investigators or team members. A public-sector investigator may be required to lead a team of investigators and other professionals in an occupancy with several floors or areas and may be required to coordinate among different types of professionals, such as machinery operators, coroner investigators, or building officials.

After completing this course, the fire investigator will be able to:

• Identify interested parties in a complex investigation. 
• Describe the basic information and documents needed to manage a complex investigation. 
• Describe the coordination necessary when conducting a multiparty investigation. 
• Describe the logistics involved in complex investigations.
