What We Investigate
All types of vehicle fire investigations
It is not unusual for a vehicle to be the subject of a fire origin & cause investigation. Vehicles have a multitude of various mechanical and electrical systems that make it difficult to determine in the field how a fire progressed through the affected vehicle. Additionally, they typically have a number of different combustible plastics, rubbers and other items invariably near a large fuel source. Gasoline is obviously very flammable, and there are many possible ignition sources, such as electrical devices, hot exhaust systems and car batteries.
