The Tarrant County Fire Marshal’s Office operates under the Texas
Local Government Code Chapter 352, Subchapter B “County Fire Marshal”,
and is committed to enforcing the law and to the prevention and
investigation of fire and explosive incidents. The Tarrant County Fire
Marshal is appointed by the Commissioners
Court. The Fire Marshal and staff have the responsibility to
protect and serve the residents of the unincorporated areas of Tarrant
County, working with state, county, federal and local fire and law
enforcement agencies.
Three certified investigators
conduct fire, arson and explosive investigations. Investigations
consist of origin and cause examination, witness interview and
evidence collection. The investigators have the capability to file
criminal arson cases with Tarrant County’s Criminal District Attorney
Office and issue warrants. In large scene investigations, the Tarrant County Arson
Task Force or the
ATF Task Force can assist. Both groups can
provide the needed manpower and tools on fire scene investigations.
