All responses must be a minimum of two pages, properly formatted, which does not include in-text citations; anything less is not solid college level work. This means you will need to add content. You are not to just copy from the text with a citation to answer the questions. I want you to add to the experience of the question.

For this first assignment, you will complete a two-page essay outlining the relationship between the scientific method and the steps of fire investigations that are outlined in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 921 that you will be using in your daily work.

The essay should be an overview of the steps and the scientific method with your personal interpretation of the information from the textbook and NFPA 921, not an analysis of the book chapters. The essay should also include how your local department documents the use of the scientific method and the steps of the investigation in order to recall the information and present it in court, when needed.

Your essay should be written in a scholarly format, free from technical jargon and written to an audience of newly recruited fire investigators.

Your essay must be at least two pages in length, not including the title and references pages.

You are required to use at least three sources for this essay: one source may be your textbook or from the Internet, and two of the resources must be from the CSU Online Library. All sources used, including your textbook, must be cited and referenced accordingly. Be sure to format your paper using APA Style.
