What Happens During a Residential Fire Investigation?
After a house fire, investigators typically examine the scene to determine where the fire started and what factors may have contributed to its spread. Evidence from the structure, electrical systems, appliances, and other materials can help identify the possible source of the flames.
Fire investigations can take time because damaged areas may need to be carefully inspected before conclusions are reached.
