(a) The state fire marshal, or the marshal's authorized representative, will, in the marshal's discretion, investigate, or cause to be investigated, the origin, cause, and circumstances of each fire occurring in the state which is of suspicious nature or which involves loss of life, or serious injury to a person, or by which property is destroyed or substantially damaged. The investigation will begin as soon as practical. If it appears that a fire is of suspicious origin, the fire marshal must be immediately notified of the facts by the investigating officer.
