The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers house fire investigation services that determine the root causes of house fires. After firefighters extinguish the fire, investigators analyze the scene to determine the cause of the fire. Our forensic experts use their experience and knowledge to identify the cause of the house fires, which helps to aid in legal proceedings and criminal investigations.
What is a House Fire Investigator?
A third-party house fire investigator conducts an impartial and thorough evaluation of the scene of a house fire. While insurance companies and fire departments often have their respective investigators, a third-party investigator may be more adept at assessing the specific details surrounding a particular fire. Investigators have specialized knowledge that enables them to do the following:
- Determine the fire’s source
- Examine physical evidence
- Study fire patterns
- Interview witnesses
Our House Fire Investigation Services

- Insurance claims
- Court cases

Why are House Fire Investigations Important?
House fire investigators are a great resource for individuals and agencies interested in determining the cause of a house fire.
