After the Fire is Out - A Guide to Coping with Fire Loss
Fire Investigations
Under Nevada State Statutes, the City of Henderson Fire Department is required to conduct a fire investigation to determine the origin, cause, and circumstances of all fires. The City of Henderson Fire Department investigators may conduct an in-depth investigation of your fire and may arrive at the scene while firefighters are still in the process of extinguishing the fire.
Fire investigators will be contacting you for information during the course of their investigation. Fire investigation is often a laborious task that requires fire investigators to physically dig through the fire debris in search of the cause of the fire. By law, the City of Henderson Fire Department investigators can remain in control of property for a reasonable period of time until their fire scene evaluation is completed.
When fire investigators are completed with their examination of the fire scene, they will attempt to notify property owners and occupants. If you wish to talk to the fire investigator assigned to your case, please call the City of Henderson Fire Investigation Unit at (702) 267-2220 or 267-2221.
