After a fire, the question is always the same: accident or deliberate? We study burn patterns, the fire's spread, electrical systems and possible ignition sources to establish where the fire began and what most likely caused it.
What we do
- Origin and cause determination from burn and char patterns
- Examination of electrical wiring, appliances and short-circuit claims
- Identification of possible accelerants and sampling for lab analysis
- Witness statement review and timeline construction
- Photographic documentation of the fire scene
When clients come to us
- An insurer has rejected or is delaying your fire claim
- An insurer needs an independent view on a suspicious fire
- A landlord and tenant dispute who is responsible for a fire
- Arson is suspected in a business or property dispute
How it works
What you receive
A fire investigation report setting out the origin, the probable cause, the evidence relied on and any matters that remain undetermined.
Questions about fire & arson investigation
Should the site be cleaned up first?
Please avoid clearing debris until the site has been documented. Moving material can destroy the evidence of where the fire started.
Do you work for insurers or policyholders?
Both. Our report states what the evidence shows, regardless of who commissioned it.
Is my case kept confidential?
Yes. Your identity, the details you share and our findings are kept private and are released only to you or to whomever you direct in writing.
