Job opportunities for fire investigators are expected to grow about as fast as the average for all careers through 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Although competition for jobs is strong, there will be a need for fire investigators because the U.S. population continues to grow and there will always be buildings to inspect and fires to investigate. The DOL predicts that the most attractive job candidates will have “experience in fire suppression, have completed some fire science education, or have training related to criminal investigation.”
