The Fire Investigation Branch is staffed by Fire/Arson Investigators who are responsible for investigating fires and explosions in the unincorporated area of Harris County. This group maintains fire records and juvenile intervention service activities. It responds to scenes when requested by fire departments, police departments and the general public and examines the fire scene to determine the origin and cause of the fire.

Fire investigators obtain evidence, submit it for analysis, pursue leads in criminal cases and present probable cause to the district attorney for arrest and testify in court. They also train fire departments, the general public and law enforcement regarding fire investigation and the responsibility of first responders.

This unit evaluates juveniles to determine the motivation behind firesetting behavior, refers children and families to other agencies for assistance and educates the juvenile and the family to the consequences of firesetting.
