Question 1) The fire department responded to a grass fire in a vacant field behind a school. They believe several preteens may have accidentally started a fire while playing with matches. The fire department has asked for help with the investigation. As the assigned officer, how do you proceed? Which statutes, if any, apply?
Question 2) An apartment on the 5th floor of a six-story apartment complex was partially gutted by fire. The incident has not been definitely established as a case of arson, but two suspicious indicators exist. First, after the fire, the apartment residents received an anonymous phone call from a person who claimed that the fire was deliberately set. Also, the fire seems to have had two points of origin. A faint trail appears on the remnants of the living-room carpet, but it is hard to discern because of the fire damage to the carpet fibers. How do you proceed? What statutes, if any, apply?
Question 3) Following the burning of a small commercial building a week ago, the fire investigators have received an analysis of a charred floorboard that indicates the presence of accelerant on the board. The building is about 60 years old, in a middling state of repair and has housed a number of different businesses over the years. How do you proceed? What statutes, if any, apply?
