IIBC – The Science of Fire Investigation

Fire investigation is all about the science! A fire cause is not so because the investigator says it is, it’s so because the science says it can’t be otherwise. This session will take you through an in-depth tour of the due process involved in a fire investigation and further widely recognized by the courts. Gain a better understanding of fire by exploring how it ignites, evolves and can be misread!
