It is okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Show that you are proud of yourself and your career accomplishments as Fire Investigator. Talking about your most significant achievement will give the interviewer a definite idea of where you place your values. It will also show the interviewer more about your personality, how you like to be motivated, and how to coach you in the future.

Focus on describing your most significant accomplishment as it relates to your career. The interviewer is not asking for a personal achievement but rather a professional one. Think of any awards or promotions you have achieved or a large fire that was difficult to investigate, but you found the source.

Avoid not having an accomplishment you are proud to have achieved. If the interviewer feels that you are not motivated to reach professional achievements and succeed in your profession, they may pass you over for another candidate.

"The greatest accomplishment in my career was discovering the origin of a fire that three other investigators could not uncover. I was called in by an outside agency and found the origin in three days. I received the Fire Investigator of the Year award from the agency. It felt great to be recognized by my peers for my dedication and service."
