Fire investigators and inspectors earned median annual salaries of $54,534 in January 2016, according to PayScale.com. Earnings ranged from $39,038 to $79,191. As in all occupations, the experts demand higher wages, so private sector investigators’ earnings can go much higher (to the $120,000+ range) if they work as national expert witnesses.
