"The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the FDNY is turning over the investigation to the NYPD because of possible criminality. "

I'm just curious about this; is this a common practice, is this a high-profile case so NYPD is handling it, is this simple misunderstanding of procedures, or some other reason? I know there are others out there more knowledgeable than myself about this.
