The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is the federal agency primarily responsible for administering and enforcing the criminal and regulatory provisions of the federal laws pertaining to destructive devices, explosives, and arson.

Arson is a violent crime that can result in fatalities, injuries, loss of jobs, homelessness and more. Many fires cause damages resulting in highly complex scenes for investigators to examine. ATF’s Certified Fire Investigators provide expertise and guidance to their interagency partners on fire origin and cause determinations, violent crime investigations involving arson and arson-for-profit, as well as provide subject matter expert testimony in the courtroom.
