In this episode Chasity and Scott dig into how real-world investigators apply NFPA 921 on scene and on the stand—focusing on why we qualify conclusions (not quantify them), how to express confidence without the discredited “reasonable degree of scientific certainty,” and practical ways to navigate internal and external pressure during origin-and-cause work. You’ll also hear quick takes on PAPRs in the field (battery life, full-face vs. half-mask), what’s new on the training calendar, shout-outs to must-listen podcasts, and a first look at the upcoming Fire Death Investigation Academy. Plus, a simple “word of the week” you’ll actually use in your next report. Tune in for tactics you can put to work immediately—without giving away the whole playbook.
