Fire investigations

The purpose of any interview is to gather both useful and accurate information.  It is the responsibility of the investigator to evaluate the quality of the data obtained from all sources.

A true civil investigation should be conducted on all serious injurie and line-of-duty death of firefighters to consider contributing factors of the incident or training event.

The scope of our investigation includes an analysis of all fire detection and suppression systems to evaluate if they functioned correctly or did they assist in the spread of the fire.
