-
- JN> Blake Bowers was overheard stating:
-
- BB> Here in Nashville, a move is about to take the Arson
- Investigation
- BB> responsibility away from the Fire Marshalls office. The Mayor,
- has
- BB> decided that it would be better served by being part of the Police
- dept.
- JN> Several large cities now have a MAST - Metro Arson Strike Team -
- JN> composed of both fire investigators and police officers. The
- advantage
- JN> is that the fire personnel are trained and experienced in
- determining
- JN> origin/cause of incidents, and the officers are trained and
- experienced
- Metro Nashville has used that concept, loosely, and it works great, but
- the
- proposal is to take the FD completely out of the loop. There will no
- longer
- be any firefighter, or anyone with firefighting experience assigned to
- arson.
