Origin and Cause Investigation
Our investigators determine the origin and cause of fires across commercial complexes, residential properties, vehicles and marine vessels. Forensic technique establishes what actually happened, and the work is documented to support the report and the testimony that follow.
Fire and Explosion Investigation
Accidental and intentional explosions both. We analyse fuel and air mixtures, fireworks and explosives to establish cause and responsibility, which serves accident prevention as much as it serves the legal proceeding.
Firefighter Injury and Casualty Investigation
Our certified investigators work firefighter injuries and fatalities, analysing fire ground tactics and fire behaviour to establish what happened. Reports and expert testimony support agencies and families, and the findings feed back into safety practice.
Education
We train fire and explosion investigators, hands on, in evidence collection, scene documentation and report writing. Programs have been delivered to federal agencies and law enforcement in the United States and abroad.
Consultation and Case Review
Civil and criminal matters involving fire, explosion and firearms. We review prior investigations for accuracy and reliability, which is often what an attorney or an insurance professional needs before deciding how to proceed.
