Students listen to a riveting auto story about a fire, and arson investigation. The case is written in the form of an audio book story, beginning with a 911 call that a neighbor is trapped in a house fire. The story gets more and more interesting as you learn that someone died in the fire, and there is indication of arson. Your students will be on the edge of their seats - mine always get really into it. Intrigue, betrayal, and murder!

Three quick (3-5 minute) YouTube video clips and notes sheet introduce students to fire investigation. The videos give them a chance to see what a house fire looks like, how investigators find signs of arson, and the work of arson dogs.
