Origin and Cause Fire
Conducting an impartial parallel investigation to law enforcement officials is often crucial in order to subrogate, affirm or deny a fire claim. Research North brings together the research, field experience, engineering resources, laboratory analysis and expert witness capability to capture and communicate the evidence you need.
Forensic Examination Of The Scene
Once law enforcement officials permit on-site inspection, our experts will sift through the debris. In order to locate the ignition source, we must often trace from the area of least damage to the area of most damage and reconstruct prior events. When needed, we employ laboratory analysis to identify the presence of fuels, accelerants, flammable and combustible liquids, etc.Follow-Up Work
Investigation and interviews are routinely conducted to establish motive and opportunity as they may relate to an incendiary fire. We have been successful in the identification and criminal prosecution of persons responsible for deliberately setting a fire. On the other hand, it is also not unusual to discover improper use, installation or poor maintenance of electrical and/or mechanical devices at the scene. Subrogation issues are presumed as a result of such findings.Call Us Now, Not Later
