Fire Investigation

Tempe Fire Department is the lead agency for delivering fire investigation services to the City of Tempe.  All fires are investigated for cause and origin.  Suspicious fires, or fires that are determined to be arson, are investigated by one of our staff of five trained investigators in partnership with the Tempe Police Department and County Attorney's Office.  Arson cases are diligently investigated and prosecuted. 

You can assist us by reporting Arson activity to the Arson Hotline at 1-800-352-7766 or in Phoenix (602) 262-7766.
