ATF National Response Team

The ATF National Response Team (NRT) is a specialized unit within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that responds to significant incidents involving fire, explosives, or arson. When a major incident occurs, such as a large fire or bombing, the NRT provides expertise in investigating the cause and origin. They work alongside local law enforcement and fire departments to gather evidence, analyze materials, and support criminal investigations if needed. Their goal is to ensure public safety, support justice, and prevent future incidents through thorough investigations.
