Origin & cause
Fire investigation
Systematic, scientific determination of where a fire started and why — documented to stand up to scrutiny.
Every fire scene tells a story in its burn patterns, ventilation effects and remaining evidence. Our investigations follow a disciplined methodology: scene examination, documentation and photography, diagramming, interviews, evidence collection and preservation, and clear written reports.
Experience gained at some of Chicago's busiest fire companies — across differing building construction and seasonal conditions — informs a precise reading of fire behavior and its effects on structures, rooms and contents.
