Congratulations to the City of Rensselaer Fire Investigation Team for being named the recipient of the 2025 Alton L. Lewis Memorial Fire Investigation Team of the Year Award presented by the New York State Fire Investigators Association, Chapter 23 of the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI).
Throughout 2025, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and teamwork during the investigation of three separate arson fires. Each incident presented unique and complex challenges, yet through meticulous investigative practices, coordinated efforts, and an unwavering commitment to public safety, the team successfully identified those responsible.
As a direct result of their investigative efforts, three individuals were arrested and formally charged.
This recognition reflects the outstanding collaboration, professionalism, and dedication displayed by the entire City of Rensselaer Fire Investigation Team in advancing fire investigation and protecting their community.
Congratulations on this well-deserved honor.
