               The fire marshal shall investigate the cause, origin and circumstances of every fire
               which is of a suspicious nature, or which involves loss of life or injury to persons,
               or when notified by any fire department of a county fire protection district that
               such circumstances warrant an investigation. Such investigation shall begin immediately
               upon the occurrence of such fire and, if it appears that such fire is of suspicious
               origin, the law enforcement agency within the jurisdiction shall be immediately notified
               and all information obtained pursuant to any such investigation shall be provided
               to the investigating officer. Nothing herein shall prohibit the fire marshal from
               assisting with the investigation of any fire within the corporate limits of any municipality
               upon request.
