Abstract
Fire investigation is conducted to decipher the cause and origin of fire, that is, whether the fire is accidental or deliberately caused. Fire investigation is a demanding area of expertise because there is uncertainty of evidences. The analytical techniques used must have a high degree of reliability and sensitivity and be subjected to quality control and quality assurance. This chapter consists of the protocols followed while investigating the fire scene, ignitable liquid classification, sample collection and analytical techniques used for performing analysis.
