Fire Origin and Cause Investigation in Los Angeles
Certified fire investigators determining origin and cause for residential, commercial, wildfire, and vehicle fires across Southern California, for insurers and attorneys.
Local Focus
Fire Investigation Across Southern California
Southern California fires range from single-structure and commercial losses to wildland-urban interface events that involve many properties at once. Our investigators apply NFPA 921 methodology to determine where each fire started and what caused it.
We examine electrical systems, appliances, ignition sources, and fire spread patterns, and we document evidence for insurance claims, subrogation, and litigation. Findings are independent and based on physical evidence.
Scope of Work
Fires We Investigate in Southern California
Wildfire and WUI Fires
We investigate wildland-urban interface fires, determine origin and spread, and evaluate ember intrusion and structure ignition. We document defensible findings for property and subrogation claims.
Residential and Commercial Fires
We determine origin and cause for house, apartment, and commercial building fires, examining electrical, appliance, and utility sources under NFPA 921.
Electrical and Utility Fires
We evaluate electrical distribution, panels, wiring, and utility equipment as potential ignition sources, including failures tied to aging infrastructure and prior events.
Vehicle Fires
We investigate passenger, fleet, and electric-vehicle fires, examining electrical, fuel, and battery systems to determine cause and rule out unrelated factors.
Litigation Support
Testimony in California Courts
Our investigators provide deposition and trial testimony for fire and subrogation cases in California state courts and the federal district courts of California. Reports are prepared for clarity and defensibility, with photographic documentation that communicates to judges, juries, and arbitration panels.
