What unusual questions have opposing attorneys been asking you that seem to originate with NFPA 921?
As we explain in Fire Findings (Vol. 7, No. 3, page 4), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, has provided some ammunition to opposing attorneys to ask questions that are making some fire investigators squirm.
