Fire and Explosion Forensic Investigation

Fire and Explosion InvestigationYou've probably heard breaking radio reports of an explosion that just occurred in your community. And you may have seen raging flames consuming a home or a business. But what you don't often see are the charred remains, remains that eventually may reveal the story of how the fire began.

There is no doubt that the fire scene serves as a puzzle waiting to be solved, but with decades of experience, Crane Engineering is up to the challenge. In one case years ago, the melting point of a cast-iron skillet helped pinpoint the source of a tragic house fire.

Knowledge and technology are vital to a successful investigation. Crane's technical staff has extensive field-investigation experience and stays up-to-date on developing trends in litigation and technology. The result: A complete investigation team you can trust.
