Video – Arson Investigations

One of the best ways to destroy a crime scene is to set it ablaze. Fibers, DNA, fingerprints, and most anything you can think of will be destroyed by the fire and the large amounts of water firefighters use to extinguish the flames. There are drawbacks however; some of the most obvious are that a fire draws immediate attention and the advancement of arson investigation.

In this video you will learn that arson fire investigators are highly trained to use deduction and reason to identify the individual(s) responsible for the fire. No two fires are alike, so arson fire investigators look for certain clues to determine how the fire was started. These include:

* What accelerants were used? Ex. Gas, kerosene, diesel fuel
* What clues do burn patterns reveals?
* What new tools are fire investigators developing to catch arsonists?
