Cigarette Fire Incident Report

Effective January 1, 2011, the sale of fire standard compliant (FSC) cigarettes became law in Missouri.  The State Fire Marshal asked the Fire Investigation Unit to make it their practice to determine, whenever possible, if cigarettes involved in fires were fire standard compliant and attempt to identify the brand of the cigarette involved.  Local investigators are asked to adopt similar practices and complete this report of their findings for any fire involving a cigarette.
