Investigative Engineers Association

The National Fire Protection Association estimates that 86,000 of the 614,000 structural fires in the United States in a recent year were of an incendiary or suspicious nature. Vehicle fires of suspicious origin involving automobiles, trucks, farm machinery and industrial equipment, marine vessels and vehicle cargo are also on the rise.

Fire Investigators: Determination of the point of origin.

Determine: Possible electrical malfunctions and lightning damage.
Determine: Fuel system malfunctions and fuel-fired applications. Other accidental causes such as wood burning fireplaces and stoves.
Determine: Habitability and safety assessment of structures damaged by fire.
Determine: Assessment of code updates required for building re-use.
Determine: Laboratory analysis of samples for possibilities of accelerants, explosives, and flammability.

I-ENG-A® includes member firms with licensed fire investigators, electrical, civil, and mechanical engineers. Many are complemented by chemists, technicians and by their own laboratories. Together they provide all the expertise necessary for a complete and competent fire investigation.
