Fire investigation
Fire investigation is the process of examining the scene of a fire to determine its origin and cause. Investigators look for burn patterns, remnants of materials, and any evidence of accelerants or ignition sources. They also interview witnesses and gather information about the building and its occupants. This investigation is crucial for preventing future fires, understanding fire safety, and, when necessary, supporting legal actions or insurance claims. A thorough investigation helps authorities learn from incidents and improve fire prevention strategies in the community.
