Fire Investigation

Much knowledge can be obtained through analyses of fires. Investigations give knowledge about how and why fires start, why fires developed as they did and how to prevent it from happening again. We assist with investigations and analyses on request from police, insurance companies, the justice administration, authorities, lawyers and companies.

We have extensive experience with fire investigations and analyses of fires. We are regularly appointed as a fire expert witness in criminal court cases, and in addition we have performed projects for insurance companies, industry and lawyers related to fire incidents. We have also performed analyses of fires for authorities and for the Norwegain Accident Investigation Board. These tasks may involve different activities, depending on the purpose of the analysis:

Mapping and analysis of the incident and the cause of fire
Fire testing and documentation of materials and objects involved in the fire
Ad-hoc fire tests at small- or large scale
CFD simulations and calculations
Assessment of fire preparedness and technical and organizational fire preventive measures
