FIRE ORIGIN + CA皇家88娱乐E
Understanding the origin and cause of a fire is the start to most fire investigations. Our real-world cause and origin expertise extends to scene documentation, evidence collection and burn pattern analysis. We rely on the scientific method to collect and synthesize data, develop hypotheses and rigorously test to determine an area of origin and cause that is well substantiated by case facts and fire science. We analyze fire cause and origin dynamics, pattern formation and damage assessment and develop practical forensic tools for fire scene investigations such as spill fire pattern interpretation and ignitable liquid residue sampling
