Fire Origin & Cause
Our team of experts has the capability to represent you or your company during the site evaluation.
Depending on the scope of work, we can:
- Conduct the initial origin and cause investigation
- Identify all parties for potential subrogation
- Conduct or represent you at a joint evaluation
- Retain evidence for future destructive testing
It is of the utmost importance to use a firm that knows what they’re doing or you can risk issues such as evidence spoliation, improper identification of fire origin or missing the cause altogether.

We find you the facts to help move your investigation, litigation, or claim forward.
