• FIRE ORIGIN AND CAUSE

    Sometimes the cause of a fire is crystal clear, but often it is not so obvious. Our experts leverage their knowledge to the fire’s origin and determine the cause.

WHAT WE DO

When, property, mechanical systems or machinery are damaged by fire, property owners and insurers will often want to discover the origin and cause in order to ensure the claim is valid and to identify potential subrogation options.

With a national network of experts, we’re able to get to the damaged property quickly before vital evidence is lost.  As you would expect, our experts work to recognized standards that include the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 921 (Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations) and they offer a vast bank of knowledge, certifications and experience having investigated hundreds of fires.
