The purpose of
any arson investigation team is to find the origin and cause of
a fire. Amesbury goes one step above that and provides the family
with not only answers but help after a fire. The Arson investigation
team has been working in Amesbury since the town had its first fire.
It is critical not only to know how it happened, but more importantly
if it could have been prevented.
The highly trained
staff includes not only firefighters but some of the officers in
the police department trained at detecting the burn patterns and
whether or not there was an accelerant used to light the fire. If
the fire is suspicious, the town can call on the State Fire Marshalls
office to bring in dogs and other equipment.
Amesbury assists
and is assisted by Newburyport, Salisbury, and Merrimac in the investigation
of fires. If you have any questions you can email Deputy Chief of the Amesbury Fire Department at chief@amesburyfire.org.
The Team Members
are:
Deputy Chief Jon Brickett
Police Officer Glen Chaput
Police Officer Robert Chatigney
