Welcome to CCAI
The California Conference of Arson Investigators is the oldest and the most active fire and arson investigator's association in the country, with over 1,100 members. CCAI is the only organization that transcends the gap between the public (fire service, law enforcement) and private (i.e. insurance adjusters, private investigators, etc.) sectors. Created in 1954, and incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1960 as a non-profit corporation, it serves the professional needs of men and women engaged in all aspects of fire and arson investigation. CCAI is Chapter #22 of the International Association of Arson Investigators.
CCAI conducts semi-annual training seminars, using the finest instructors from across the country. The most up to date technical information on fire, fraud, and arson investigation is provided to hundreds of participants. All aspects of fire/arson investigation are covered in training provided to public and private sectors.
CCAI provides regional Roundtable meetings at locations throughout the State of California. The Roundtable meetings are the backbone of the organization. Attendees are presented with programs of special interest at these meetings. One of the many benefits of attending these meetings is the ability to network with local public and private fire investigators to discuss recent fire trends and individual fire cases.
CCAI is proud to be involved in the advancement of fire and arson investigation. Through education and training, CCAI has proven the true value of a professional organization. Through an extremely active membership, this non-profit organization has brought together various divergent segments of a diversified profession, and helped to make fire and arson training in California the best and most coordinated, professional training in the nation.
