Libby Snyder

Editor of "Fire Investigator" (3rd Edition)

January 10, 2022

Libby Snyder has been a Senior Editor at Fire Protection Publications since December 2009. Her favorite part of her day job is untangling syntax like yarn. She has lived in Stillwater since Y2K, having never left after completing an English B.A. at Oklahoma State University. After hours, Libby enjoys traveling, untangling actual yarn with her two cats and traveling with her husband, Charles.

The purpose of "Fire Investigator, Third Edition," is two-fold. First, this manual provides fire and emergency services personnel and civilian inspectors with basic information necessary to meet the job performance requirements (JPRs) of NFPA 1033, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator, 2021 Edition. Second, this manual meets the Fire and Emergency Services for Higher Education (FESHE) Course Outcomes for two Associates, Non-Core Courses: Fire Investigation I and Fire Investigation II.

The scope of the manual addresses the basic duties assigned to a Fire Investigator in NFPA 1033 and the additional knowledge necessary to complete the FESHE courses Fire Investigation I and II. Also included in the scope is an emphasis on NFPA 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, 2020 Edition. NFPA 921 will serve as the first reference source for all information contained in this manual and should be considered a companion text for training purposes.
