The UK Association of Fire Investigators (formally known as the IAAI-UK) was formed on the 31 January 2003 at an inaugural meeting at City Hall, London. Currently we have 950 members, with representation from the fire service, insurance industry, law enforcement, forensic scientists, private fire investigators, fire investigation training providers, and forensic science academic establishments.
The IAAI (International organisation) consists of some 7,500 fire investigation professionals from around the world. The IAAI publication,"The Fire and Arson Investigator," contains articles by some of the leading experts in the field, and is published quarterly.
The IAAI also run the Certificated Fire Investigator (CFI) and Fire Investigator (FIT) programmes internationally. This is now running in the UK, and involves a points system of qualifications, courses and experience to enable an applicant to take an exam. The CFI and FIT programmes are designed to ensure that everyone in the fire investigation field is working to a competent standard. An initial application form for either programme is available through this website please select the CFI & FIT Programmes link on the left menu.
