Understanding the origin to make better decisions
Every fire raises key questions :
- where did the fire start?
- What phenomena may have contributed to its ignition?
- How did the incident develop and spread?
- What lessons can be learned for the future?
The fire investigation assignment consists of identifying the area and possible point of origin, studying the possible causes and comparing the different hypotheses with the technical findings.
The objective is not to confirm a pre-established hypothesis, but to provide an objective, documented and usable analysis.
A four-step fire investigation process

THE INVESTIGATION
Carry out inspections, analyse indicators and traces, cross-check information and, if necessary, involve a laboratory.
