What is an Insurers responsibility regarding the collection, storage and management of evidence collected on their behalf during a fire investigation? This presentation will discuss and illustrate many of the common, yet improper evidence collection and storage practices utilized by professionals who in the normal course of conducting their business collect, document and store evidence, on behalf of insurance clients. We will discuss an insurance carrier s fiduciary responsibility to insure that evidence collected on their behalf is documented, collected and stored properly in order to prevent a spoliation claim that can compromise the evidence and the case. Guy E. Sandy Burnette, Attorney Burnette, Miller, Wollermann, PLLC Tallahassee, Florida Joseph Toscano, IAAI CFI & CI Senior Fire Consultant & Director of Business Development Jack Ward Fire Consultants, LLC.

2 10:40 11:00 a.m. Break in Exhibit Show Area 11:00 Noon O&C Expert Selection and O&C Issues What are the qualifications we all should look for in choosing an O&C expert? What are our expectations? How do we manage and communicate with them? What is the difference between a good O&C report vs. one that is lacking? Why are some reports better than others? These questions and more will be covered in this session that you won t want to miss. Guy E. Sandy Burnette, Attorney Burnette, Miller, Wollermann, PLLC Tallahassee, Florida Joseph Toscano, IAAI CFI & CI Senior Fire Consultant & Director of Business Development Jack Ward Fire Consultants, LLC. North Haven, CT Noon 1:00 p.m. Lunch in Exhibit Show Area 1:30 3:00 p.m. Improving Fire Investigations and Empowering Insurers: A Fresh Look at the 2014 Editions of NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921 In 2014, and for the first time in sixteen years, the NFPA published in the same year new editions of both NFPA 1033 Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator and NFPA 921 Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations. While the changes in the new editions of these industry standards have tremendous potential to improve the quality of fire investigations, they also provide additional ammunition to insurers and/or attorneys wanting to support or challenge investigators in court. In this seminar, two fire litigation attorneys and an insurance company SIU management representative, who also served as President of the International Association of Arson Investigators, will share their insights into the most significant of these changes from an insurance company and litigation perspective. In this seession, you will learn: o How NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921 are directly relevant in challenging the qualifications and reliability of expert evidence under Daubert and state equivalents;
3 o Revisions in the 2014 editions that effectively merge NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921, together making them more powerful than ever in the hands of skilled trial attorneys; o Implications of the expansion of NFPA 1033 s infamous list of 13 minimum knowledge requirements to a list of 16; and the correlation between this list of 16 and NFPA 921, which together raise the bar for fire investigators; o The heightened standing that both NFPA 1033 and NFPA 921 give to ASTM standards, making these standards mandatory for a reliable investigation. Don t get blind-sided. Join Rick Hammond, Terry-Dawn Hewitt and Roger Krupp for this important session! Rick Hammond Johnson & Bell, Ltd. Chicago, IL Terry-Dawn Hewitt, Esq.
