State Fire Marshal Canines

The use of accelerant detection canines to assist fire investigators is very popular within the United States and Ohio.  The dogs and their Canine Handlers undergo a rigorous training and certification program to become a proficient tool for Fire Investigators. 

These dogs have a superior sense of smell and easily detect hydrocarbons at fire scenes. These amazing canines are able to detect trace evidence of hydrocarbons too small for sophisticated scientific instruments. 

The use of dogs as investigative tools has been highly successful in the apprehension and successful prosecution of arsonist in Ohio.  The State Fire Marshal, Fire & Explosion Investigation Bureau has two Accelerant Detection Canines.
