ACE recommendation


There is not an American Council on Education credit recommendation for this course.

This course was developed to aid first responders in understanding and recognizing how fire can be used as a weapon against people and/or property. This course should also help first responders and investigators understand why a person would choose to use fire as a weapon, as well as creating awareness of the types of information fire investigators may need from fire and emergency services personnel.

There is no required prerequisite, but W0770: Fire Investigation: First Responder is recommended.
