In episode 14 of the Fire Investigation INFOCUS Podcast. They begin by discussing recent events, including Chasity getting a new Maine Coon kitten named Furiosa. Scott mentions completing fire investigation training series in San Diego and starting another in Orange County. 

The hosts then dive into the main topic - an overview of key fire investigation standards and a new standard that was recently released. They discuss NFPA 921 (Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations), NFPA 1033 (Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator), and the new NFPA 1321 (Standard for Fire Investigation Units). Scott explains that 1321 is a standard, not just a guide, meaning fire investigation units will be required to follow it. He highlights some key requirements from 1321 around documentation, health and safety, training, and more. The hosts discuss how this new standard may impact both public and private sector fire investigators.

Scott also shares insights on jury instructions related to fire investigation cases in California, explaining how understanding these can help investigators prepare stronger cases. The hosts announce upcoming fire investigation conferences and training events, including ones they'll be teaching at in Ohio and California. They close by reading and awkwardly responding to some podcast reviews, thanking listeners for their support and engagement. The episode wraps up with a brief discussion of confirmation bias in fire investigation and a teaser to look into the definition of "FIU" (Fire Investigation Unit) from NFPA 1321 before the next episode.
