fire investigation and analysis

Fire investigation and analysis involve examining the scene after a fire to determine its origin, cause, and progression. Experts look for burn patterns, debris, and evidence to understand how the fire started—whether accidentally or intentionally. They collect physical evidence, interview witnesses, and review scene details to piece together the circumstances. This process helps identify safety issues, prevent future fires, and may support legal actions if arson is suspected. Overall, it is a systematic effort to understand the fire’s behavior and prevent similar incidents.
