Identifying the cause of a fire can be one of the most difficult challenges since, by its very nature, fire can destroy the evidence needed to identify its cause.
Through keen attention to detail and extensive experience and training, our experts identify and analyze the remaining evidence to establish the area of fire origin, and conditions, actions and circumstances that contributed to the cause of the fire.
An investigation of a fire's cause does not merely finish with identification of the origin and the ignition source or equipment that caused ignition. In many cases, that's where the most challenging part of investigation begins.
We involve the appropriate expertise from our various engineering divisions and thoroughly assess the equipment and the cause of the failure or conditions that resulted in the fire.
Our experts are trained to the investigation standard of the National Fire Protection Association, and regularly attend Canadian and International seminars to remain apprised of current developments in fire investigation and cause analysis.
