Fire Scene Examinations

We offer three options for scene and field examinations, so the right expertise is part of the examination without unnecessary travel.

01Three options

Scene and field examination options

In person

  • Lead or co-lead examination
  • Determine the evidence to be collected, plan and participate in the collection
  • Execute the recovery plan, recommend and evaluate deviations from the plan, and coordinate with other investigators
  • Recommended for large or complex losses

Live and virtual

  • Pre-planning meeting with the on-scene investigator (the investigator must have scene photos)
  • Saves the cost of travel and time spent traveling
  • Forensic expert participation in the entire examination
  • Plans and deviations from plans during the exam
  • Determining which evidence to recover and evidence recovery planning
  • Hypothesis formation and testing

An origin and cause investigator, evidence technician or other personnel at the scene will have your expert in the palm of their hand on a smartphone or tablet.

On call

  • Pre-planning meeting with the on-scene investigator (the investigator must have scene photos)
  • Your expert is on call to assist your on-scene investigator
  • Your expert can take part in examination activities planned before the exam, for example testing an electrical system on scene and decisions about evidence collection

02Test equipment

Test equipment at the scene

If required, we can provide and deliver test equipment for use by the fire investigator during the exam, and then guide the investigator in the setup and use of the equipment during the exam.
