Dinty, a 4-year-old black Labrador Retriever, has joined San Bernardino County Fire’s elite arson investigative team. Dinty is currently the only arson canine in San Bernardino County and one of five in California!
“Dinty will be instrumental in helping investigators locate evidence that may assist in the identity and conviction of an arsonist,” said Fire Marshal Mike Horton.
Dinty and his handler, fire Investigator Shawn Reiss, recently completed 200 hours of intense training on the East coast. “Dinty and I are ready to use the training we have received to assist with solving these hideous and deadly crimes,” said Reiss.
