Fire Investigation Division

The primary mission of the Fire Investigation Division is to determine the origin and cause of fires—whether accidental or incendiary. By accurately identifying these causes, we aim to reduce the risk of injury and death to civilians and firefighters, while also minimizing property loss.

Division Responsibilities

The Fire Investigation Division is responsible for conducting thorough investigations at fire scenes to establish the cause and origin of the incident. This process involves meticulous examination of the scene, collection of evidence, and follow-up procedures to ensure accurate conclusions are drawn. If a fire is determined to be the result of arson, the division works closely with local law enforcement agencies to conduct a comprehensive investigation, with the ultimate goal of identifying and prosecuting those responsible.

In our ongoing efforts to prevent future incidents and solve current cases, we encourage the community to remain vigilant. On this site, you will find a link to unsolved arson cases within our jurisdiction. If you have any information related to these cases, we urge you to contact the Riverton Volunteer Fire Department or your local law enforcement agency.

By working together, we can help protect our community from the devastating effects of fire and bring those responsible for criminal acts to justice.
