Fire Scene Analysis
Scientific determination of fire origin, point of ignition, and spread pattern. Forensic reporting using physical and chemical evidence from the scene.
Comprehensive Definition and Analysis Process
Fire scene analysis is the examination of the physical and chemical evidence remaining at the scene after a fire, carried out according to international forensic-science standards. Our expert team decodes the hidden clues buried beneath the chaos of a fire, producing the precise, scientific answers that judicial authorities and institutions need.
Examinations Performed and Process
The field and laboratory work carried out at a fire scene consists of the following critical operational steps:
Origin-Area Determination (Origin Analysis)
The area where the fire first started (the origin) is identified with high precision by analyzing burn depth, mass loss, structural deformation, and the direction of heat flow.
Evidence Collection and Laboratory Analysis
To detect residues of accelerants (gasoline, thinner, alcohol, solvents, etc.) used to accelerate the fire, carbonized samples are carefully collected from the scene and examined using chromatographic methods.
Virtual Modeling and Reporting
Using the data obtained, a fire-spread simulation (FDS modeling) is performed, and an internationally standardized forensic report is prepared for judicial authorities, prosecutorial bodies, and insurance companies.
Why a Professional Analysis?
Fire scenes are among the environments where evidence degrades fastest, due to suppression efforts and extreme heat. A prompt expert examination prevents the loss of legal rights.
"In short: fire scene analysis uses scientific methods to reveal the truth hidden beneath the ashes, providing irrefutable, concrete evidence for judicial proceedings and damage assessments."
