FUNDAMENTALS OF MOTOR VEHICLE FIRE INVESTIGATION
”A state-of-the-art presentation of the technological realities of post-fire inspection. Essential knowledge for the professional fire investigator.”
In this highly interactive, hands-on course, you will acquire a working knowledge of fire science and be able to use this knowledge to assess possible ignition mechanisms, evaluate burn patterns, and analyze fire spread. This course also explores the interpretation and limitations of the physical evidence from a fire scene. The approach to collecting and retaining important physical evidence, and laboratory techniques to examine this evidence, will also be described. As an in-class project, you have the opportunity to inspect several burned vehicles, predict cause and origin and compare findings to the actual cause and origin of the fire, as shown in burn test videos. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Apply fundamental combustion concepts to evaluate possible ignition mechanisms, burn patterns, and fire spread • Recognize the value and limitations of burn patterns to determine the area of origin of a fire • Describe the typical burning characteristics of motor vehicle fires • Identify and retain important physical evidence during a structure or vehicle fire inspection • Utilize laboratory techniques to evaluate physical evidence recovered from a fire scene WHO SHOULD ATTEND This seminar is designed for engineers, scientists, investigators and consultants involved in the investigation of vehicle fires. Please be advised, this course involves one or more of the following: driving and/or riding in a vehicle; participating in a vehicle demonstration; and/or taking part in an offiste tour using outside transportation. You will be required to sign a waiver on-site and produce a valid driver’s license from your state/country of residence.
