What drives someone to set fires, and how can patterns of arson be detected? Join us in this gripping episode of CSI on Fire as we sit down with Ed Nordskog, a retired arson investigator who served 34 remarkable years with the Los Angeles Sheriff Department. From his early days as a bomb technician trained by the British Army Bomb Squad to becoming an expert in arson investigation, Ed has handled over 2,100 fire investigations, including more than 60 serial arson cases. His insights into the meticulous process of uncovering patterns in fire-related crimes will leave you with a newfound respect for the painstaking work behind the scenes.
Ed takes us on an enlightening journey through the advanced training and certification essential for fire investigators. Imagine being a rookie, paired with seasoned officers, and gaining hands-on experience at numerous fire scenes. Ed recounts his unique training experiences, including time spent at the National Fire Academy and participating in forensic fire death schools where realistic crime scenarios involving cadavers are recreated. This chapter underscores the critical role of rigorous training and multidisciplinary collaboration in elevating the standards of fire death investigations.
In the final segments, we explore the broader challenges and nuances in the world of fire investigation. Ed shares his thoughts on the limitations of psychological profiling in arson cases and the vital importance of science-based investigative psychology. He also touches on the complexities of civil versus criminal fire investigations and the prevalence of incendiary devices like Molotov cocktails.
