🔥 NY IAAI Annual Seminar | Featured Speaker 🔥
We’re proud to welcome James Lord, PE, CFI to the NY IAAI Annual Seminar presenting:
Fire Dynamics for the Fire Investigator with HOT (Hands-On Training)
A former firefighter and Principal Fire & Forensic Engineer with 19 years of experience, Jamie has investigated hundreds of fires and explosions — from residential incidents to large industrial losses.
He spent 10 years with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) serving as an investigator and expert witness, and now leads complex forensic analyses in the private sector. He is also an adjunct instructor in the forensic sciences graduate program at Oklahoma State University.
This session translates fire dynamics into practical investigative tools — strengthening origin & cause analysis through applied fire science and live, hands-on demonstrations.
If you want to elevate the scientific foundation behind your conclusions, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

🔥 Speaker Announcement | NY IAAI Annual Seminar 🔥
We are proud to announce that Jason Mardirosian will be presenting “Complex Fire Scene Investigations” at this year’s NY IAAI Annual Seminar.
When a fire scene is large, multi-room, heavily damaged, or potentially multi-origin, the investigation becomes exponentially more challenging. These are the scenes where discipline, scientific methodology, and critical thinking matter most.
In this advanced session, attendees will explore:
▪ Scene reconstruction in high-damage environments
▪ Layered fire analysis and origin differentiation
▪ Structural collapse considerations
▪ Managing contaminated or compromised evidence
▪ Multi-agency coordination
▪ Applying the scientific method when indicators conflict
Through real-world case studies and proven methodologies, Jason will guide investigators through the analytical process required when multiple variables and potential ignition sources are present.
With international experience advising ministries, instructing ATF task forces, and training investigators across the U.S. and abroad — along with being a recipient of the IAAI International Investigator of the Year Award — Jason brings both operational credibility and instructional excellence to this course.
This is not a fundamentals lecture.
This is a masterclass in complexity.
