Fire Investigation Unit

A Fire Investigation Unit is a specialized team responsible for determining the cause and origin of a fire. They analyze evidence at the scene, such as burn patterns, debris, and any potential ignition sources, to understand how and why the fire started. Their work helps identify accidental, natural, or deliberate causes, such as arson. The findings can support insurance claims, legal proceedings, and fire prevention efforts. Comprising trained firefighters, forensic experts, and investigators, the unit plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, accountability, and understanding fire-related incidents.
