I too just joined in and have been in the fire service for 35 years with about 25 in fire prevention and investigation. We use CadZone for our plans but there are other drawing programs that are available at area computer stores that work.

As far as fire scene software drawings for investigations, you don't need 3D stuff. There are some more than adequate 2D software programs available and quite affordable, at your local electronics store (example: Best Buy). Walmart has even been known to carry a good software package that works very well.

Luckily, our unit works directly with the Police Arson unit. So there is no ego's, attitudes, or questions. Although we work for different agencies, we both fall under the "fire investigations division" and report to the Fire Marshal. The Officer's job within our unit is to assist with the investigation and then if need be, secure warrants and maintain custody control.

Morning everyone. We all have the same problem with "who's scene is this anyway?" People figure that once you've put water on it, your job is done, now get out of their way.... Wrong!!! We have a job to do, paperwork, questions & answers, collecting, etc. just like they do. My main concern is that no matter where you go, there is no easy way for firemen and women to do there job without some hostility from someone.
Just do your job and the ignorance won't matter. Stay Safe.

Morning guys and gals. Looks like a well rounded group on this site. I've been in arson for 16 years and still learn something new just about every scene. Biggest problem has already been mentioned; ego issues between police and fire. I am a cop with the fire department and have NO patience for these ego problems and will tell any Police Chief or Sheriff that to their face without reservation. We need to get along and work together.
