Fire Investigator
Skilled in inspecting the scene of the fire and drawing conclusions based on his experience, which is empirical.

Fire Scientist
Has an academic and research background in science. This expertise generally includes a knowledge of how to conduct fire tests to yield desired information and how to develop fire test methods. This is applied to the reconstruction and quantification of fires through the prudent coupling of testing, mathmatical modeling and the application of science and experience.


Why should you retain a fire scientist,
when you already have retained a fire investigator?

  • Because a fire science expert may help you develop a winning strategy for your case which is based on sound science and engineering theory

  • He may save you lots of lost effort in pursuing non-physical hypotheses or testing plans

  • Because the other side may ultimately hire a fire science expert
