Fire Investigation

Our purpose is to provide members of NAS-T with the support, training and tools to successfully undertake and complete a thorough fire investigation. Our goals are:

1. To determine the fire origin     and cause

2. Determine the extent of             damage

3. Determine whether it is             accidental or arson related

4. If accidental, to determine if     it is due to a faulty produce     or human error and if it is to     attempt to bring about             education or legistlation to         reduce the possibility of            reoccurrence.

5. If arson related, to pursue         prosecution to the fullest         extent of the law.
Hazardous Materials

Our purpose is to provide members of NAS-T with the ability to mount a full-scale response to an incident involving hazardous materials (hazmat). This type of activity is cost-prohibitive for most suburban and rural departments.  NAS-T allows each member department to commit its unique resources to a particular aspect of the hazmat response. This enables the member agencies to share resources and costs associated with hazmat situations.
Fire Prevention

Our member Fire Prevention Bureaus share information about fire prevention techniques. The Fire Prevention Bureaus conduct fire safety imspections and  provide fire safety education to schools, businesses, and citizens in their respective communities. Many members of the Bureaus also have fire investigation responsibilities. NAS-T allows these members the opportunity to share information in the fire prevention field and to discuss trends in each community.
