THE ARSON EVIDENCE
Fire and arson investigators examine the physical attributes of a fire scene and identify and collect physical evidence from the scene. This evidence is then analyzed to help determine if the cause of the fire was accidental or deliberate.
During the scene examination, investigators may find evidence such as accelerants, tampered utilities, and specific burn patterns, which may indicate criminal activity. Those things can now be classified as to what types of evidence can be used by both investigators and prosecutors to indict somebody as responsible for the crime.
Our video below will discuss the types and classes of evidence needed by an investigator to establish a good case against the perpetrator, so WATCH AND LEARN in this presentation.
