MISSOURI DIVISION OF FIRE SAFETY
ATTENTION PRIVATE FIRE INVESTIGATORS
Missouri State Statute RSMo 324.1100 to RSMo 324.1148 requires Private Fire Investigators doing business in the State of Missouri to “provide evidence of active certification as a fire investigator issued by the division of fire safety”. To become a state certified fire investigator individuals must meet one of three requirements: 1) successfully complete the Division’s fire investigator course and then obtain certification through the Division by passing the written and practical skills certification exams 2) hold a current certification as a Fire Investigator by the Missouri Division of Fire Safety or 3) apply for Reciprocity with the Division of Fire Safety by providing verification of current certification as a Fire Investigator issued by a certifying entity which is accredited through the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) or the Fire Service Professional Qualifications System (Pro Board).
Reciprocity Information - Individuals holding current Fire Investigator Certification from another state, Canadian Province or the IAAI may apply for Reciprocity through the State of Missouri. A copy of a current IFSAC or Pro Board accredited certificate must be submitted along with the application. The Application for Reciprocity is available on the Division of Fire Safety’s website at http://www.dfs.dps.mo.gov/dfstrngequiv_rec.htm.
Missouri Fire Investigator Course Information - Those who do not meet the above requirements will need to attend the Missouri Division of Fire Safety’s 40-Hour Fire Investigator course and pass the required certification exams. Due to limited offerings and high demand for the course, the Division has scheduled a delivery solely for private fire investigators so as to meet the licensing requirement. The practical skills and written certification exams will be offered during the week of the course.
