The course provides practical information and techniques to identify fire causes and fraud. In addition, theft is included as many fire losses are from theft claims. Analysis tools are provided to recognize staged fires and thefts. Identifying the cause of the fire is critical as well as examining what burned and did not. This helps the investigator determine if the loss was intentional or not. A comprehensive approach is important to gain a understanding of the cause and proving that the fire or theft were intentional or not.
