  1. BUREAU OF FIRE INVESTIGATION - "Veritas Ex Cineribus" FIRE DEPARTMENT LIBERTY CITY INTRODUCTION Bureau of Fire Investigation (BFI) is part of Fire Department of Liberty City tasked with investigating arsons, and related crimes, and enforcement of fire laws through the city of Liberty. Bureau of Fire Investigation is compromised out of Fire Marshals who are police officers with arrest power. BFI has its field offices in each of five boroughs that are led by Fire Marshal Commanders. BFI Headquarters and Algonquin Base are located in Fishmarket South, Algonquin. HISTORY The first Fire Marshal in City of Liberty was Alfred E. Baker who was appointed in 1854. and 3 years later he was given a right to wear fireman's uniform and red hat. Soon enough Board of Police Commissioners issued Sergeant's shield, which was engraved with Fire Marshal, to Baker. In 1873. the Bureau of Fire Marshal was created as part of Metropolitan Fire Department, which kept its name until 1915. when it was changed to Bureau of Fire Investigation. In 1940. Fire Marshals were granted authority to detect arson and bring responsible person(s) to justice. Their authority included power of arrest, right to subpoena people and/or documents, enter any building, and authority to take testimony under oath. In 1970. their status was upgraded from Peace Officer to Police Officer and their powers were, once again, expanded. The Bureau kept expanding as needs would arise through following years. In March of 1981. Red Caps were formed. This program included Fire Marshals who would suppress arson, and other crimes, by showing off their presence at fire scene in marked vehicles with clear identification. They'd begin their investigations in early phases of the fire and protect fire crews during the incident. They earned their name because of red caps that they had to wear during said incidents. It was noticed that not only rates of arson, but also other crimes, declined in areas where Red Caps operated. BFI took its part in investigating some of large-scale incident that changed Liberty City like Liberty City Marine Hospital in 1858, Gulliver's Nightclub Fire, in 1974, Happy Land Fire on 25th of March 1990 - arson that killed 87 people, 1993. WTC Bombing and many others. The most devastating case was 2001 WTC Terrorist Attack that took place on 11th September. During the events on 11th September of 2001, FM Ronald P. Bucca lost his life while aiding with rescue efforts at WTC. He was the first, and up to this day - only, Fire Marshal who got killed in line of duty. Ronald P. Bucca also served in the Army prior to joining Fire Department. His assignments within FDLC included Rescue 1, Bureau of Fire Investigation and Terrorist Task Force.
