Fire Origin & Root Cause

Fire origin and root cause identification services include meticulous examination of fire scenes to determine not only where the fire began (origin) but also the factors that led to its ignition (root cause). 

This data helps in constructing a detailed methodological approach to solve the complexities surrounding fire incidents, which is essential for legal proceedings and insurance claims.

Selecting a reputable fire origin and root cause service provider is essential for getting reliable results, and you must look for only professionals with expertise in fire investigation, engineering, and awareness about industry standards and protocols.

SIFS India’s team of experts does a thorough investigation of the factors that contributed to the fire, like electrical faults, faulty appliances, human error, or arson, and an assessment of materials and structures affected by the fire to evaluate how the materials reacted to the fire.
