Fire and explosion incidents can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and businesses. Conducting thorough investigations to determine the root cause of such incidents is crucial in preventing future occurrences and ensuring justice for those affected.

Forensic investigations can be key components in understanding the causes and implications of fires and explosions in both residential and commercial environments. Rimkus forensic investigations are scientifically based and involve a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including the scene of the incident, physical evidence, witness testimonies, and expert opinions.

In residential settings, factors such as faulty wiring, appliance malfunctions, flammable materials, and arson may need to be considered. Similarly, in commercial environments, issues like industrial equipment failure, chemical reactions, electrical faults, and sabotage could be investigated.

At Rimkus, we are committed to promoting safety and resilience in both residential and commercial spaces. Our team of experienced forensic investigators possesses the expertise and resources necessary to conduct thorough and impartial investigations, collect and preserve evidence, and provide valuable insights and recommendations to our clients.

When necessary, our fire consultants collaborate with other Rimkus team members with specialized expertise, such as mechanical and electrical engineers or human factors experts, to provide a thorough understanding of any fire event and potential subrogation components.
