Finding the Origin of Fires

The task of finding the origin of a fire is often not easy. Some questions to be asked are if the fire was accidental or deliberate? Where was the fire set? Who set the fire? Thousands of homes and businesses fall victim to arson every year. Many of the reasons why people decide to deliberately set fire to their own places begin with insurance fraud and end with pyromaniac.  Someone may have gotten into a disagreement with another person or they just wanted to see something burn. No matter what the reason is for burning down a home or business the fact is that an out of control fire is dangerous to you and others in the neighborhood. Looking for clues and elements that could start a fire is a very tedious job. Some things to look for are faulty wires, cans of chemicals, cigarettes, rages with substances on them that may cause a fire to occur. Make sure your suspect has no time leaks of where they were when the fire took place. If your suspect is caught in a lie this could make the case easier for the Investigator. Time frame is very important from the last person to leave the residence, to the reporter of the fire, and the First Officer on the scene. Being able to identify possible suspects due to their association with the building or house makes a difference especially if they are on the insurance papers; insurance fraud is a major difficulty that Investigators have to research.
