QUESTION 18 OF 30
How do you describe the difference between a Fire Investigator and an Arson Investigator?
The interviewer asks this question to see if you understand the difference between a Fire Investigator and an Arson Investigator. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, the interviewer wants to ensure you know what your job entails.
Focus on knowing the difference between the two. A Fire Investigator investigates the cause of the fire, while an Arson Investigator determines who caused the fire.
Avoid saying that the two types of investigators are the same. During your studies, you should have learned the difference between the two.
"I have people ask me this question a lot. A Fire Investigator investigates and determines the cause of a fire, while an Arson Investigator determines who caused the fire."
