"A fire or explosion investigation is a complex
endeavor
involving skill, technology, knowledge, and science. The
compilation
of factual data, as well as an analysis of those
facts, should be
accomplished objectively and truthfully. The
basic methodology of
the fire investigation should rely on the
use of a systematic approach
& attention to all relevant details.
The use of a systematic approach
often will uncover new factual
data for analysis, which may require previous conclusions to be reevaluated. With few exceptions, the proper
methodology for a fire
or explosion investigation is to first determine
and establish the origin(s), then investigate the cause: circumstances, conditions, or agencies that brought the ignition source, fuel, and
oxidant together. [NFPA 921-2.1-2001]”
