VIDEO: Charlotte Fire Department arson investigators are working this week without a member who had been there for decades. Art Goldner passed away this week. The Arson Task Force has been busy recently because of two major apartment fires that investigators said were intentionally set. Goldner was the task force’s first chief investigator and one of its founders. "He enjoyed it so much it didn't seem like work to him," Goldner’s son, Eric Goldner, said. The task force was created in 1984. One of its first investigators was David Lowery, who would become the second chief investigator. "If you had a disagreement, you could go toe to toe with him, jaw to jaw across the table,” Lowery said.
