About FireWise

FireWise Learning Academy was established in Canada in 2008 and the original FireWise Fire Investigation programme was developed by Bob Turley, a former Deputy Fire Commissioner for the Province of British Columbia, Canada and experienced Fire Scene Investigator.

​

Bob was a very close friend and colleague of the late Dr. John DeHaan the internationally recognised forensic scientist, with over forty years’ experience in the fields of fire investigation, fire behaviour, fire protection engineering, criminalistics, fire science and crime scene reconstruction.

​

Over the years John has contributed hugely to the FireWise Learning Academy Fire Investigation programme and, in homage to the world-renowned Fire Investigator, recorded input and comment from him is retained within the programme.

​

FireWise Learning Academy is a value-driven and Benefit Corporation for Good company committed to delivering quality information over profits to ensure that those in the fire service and their governing authorities receive the knowledge and support needed to help them provide a high level of fire protection in their communities or business.

​

Building on the success of FireWise Learning Academy across Canada and now the United States, founder Bob Turley is now working with FireWise UK Learning Academy to extend the international training across the UK.

​

The proven FireWise Fire Investigation programme is now available
