| Fire investigation's most useful reference for broadening your knowledge of origin and cause.
So much is riding on you making the right determinations in your fire investigation cases today. It’s essential to call them right and be able to back up your decisions. Seat-of-the-pants or off-the-top-of-the-head determinations just aren’t good enough.
To broaden your knowledge about fire origin and cause, you must know how new, increasingly complicated products function so you can determine how they fail and cause fires. Or in cases involving arson, fire setters can be just as sophisticated. They often use appliances to set fires or locate their fires near appliances to make them seem accidental.
Then, once you make your determinations, they must withstand opposing attorneys who scrutinize what you say and other experts who probe for details and explanations. The dollars and lives at stake in a single case mean you must be prepared and informed if your determinations are going to hold up in court.
That’s where Fire Findings comes in. Published every quarter, it’s your handy tool for building in-depth knowledge of the field. And it provides you with the latest technical fire investigation information available anywhere practical information that can help you make better determinations and build successful cases.
