Fire & Explosion
Investigation Services
Determining the precise origin and cause of structural fires, industrial explosions, electrical short circuits, gas leaks, and suspected arson requires rigorous scientific methodology. At Skyline Centre of Excellence, we provide scientific Fire & Explosion Investigation Services adhering to NFPA 921 guidelines. We combine arc mapping, burn pattern analysis, GC-MS chemical accelerant testing, and court-admissible Section 45 expert reporting for insurance companies, industrial enterprises, and legal authorities.

Scientific identification of ignition point, fuel package & heat source.
Electrical Arc Mapping
Distinguishing cause-versus-victim electrical arc beads & wiring faults.
GC-MS Accelerant Analysis
Gas chromatography extraction identifying petroleum accelerants & arson.
Insurance Claim Verification
Independent technical cause audits for underwriters & subrogation claims.
Fire & Explosion Capabilities
Origin & cause determination, blast dynamics, electrical arc mapping, industrial explosion auditing, gas leak tracing, and GC-MS accelerant testing.
Fire Origin & Cause Investigation
Scientific determination of initial fire ignition points, fuel sources, heat mechanics, and progression paths.
Explosion Cause Analysis
Analyzing blast dynamics, blast seat location, overpressure patterns, fuel-air mixtures, and vessel ruptures.
Fire Scene Examination & Documentation
High-resolution 3D laser photogrammetry, thermal imaging, panoramic scene mapping, and grid documentation.
Evidence Identification, Collection & Preservation
Sterile extraction of accelerant residues, arc mapping specimens, charred debris, and tamper-proof chain of custody.
Electrical Fire Investigations
Arc mapping analysis, short-circuit vs fire-caused arc distinguishability, fuse box auditing, and appliance failures.
Industrial & Commercial Fire Investigations
Investigating chemical plant fires, manufacturing facility explosions, dust explosions, and machinery overheating.
Residential Fire Investigations
