Not Legal Advice: Yes. Fire Marshals complete law enforcement training that gives them police power.
Fire marshals straddle the line between firefighting and police work, working primarily in fire service, investigating the causes of fires and enforcing the fire code.
Their training and responsibilities build upon those of fire investigators, but focus much more on the law enforcement aspect of the job. Fire marshals work for state, regional and local fire and law enforcement agencies.
The role varies by state and region, and fire marshals can be found working for a diverse range of agencies that include state police, departments of finance, offices of fire investigation, planning and building departments and fire education divisions.
