Abstract:

The article addresses the issues of the particular terminology for fire forensic investigations. Definitions for the basic parameters of a fire hazardous area, determining its susceptibility to ignition, and their relationship to the impulses initiating such areas’ combustion are analyzed.Two main tasks of forensic fire examinations are reviewed: establishing the technical cause of a fire, its organizational cause, and consequences. The author gives definitions for these tasks and the term “ignition source”.The paper’s relevance stems from the need to prevent mistakes in terminology when condu

Abstract:

Circumstances having a significant impact on the quality of the conduct of fire investigations in forensic organizations of various agencies are considered. This mainly follows from the shortcomings of inquest and investigation on this category of cases, inadequate number of verified and recommended for forensic practice methods and computer programs, rare use of existing programs, contradictions of legislative acts regulating fire and explosion safety of different objects, from some experts’ insufficient qualification. Absence of data banks on fires and forensic examinations conducted on them

Abstract:

Forensic science is an incredible asset to decipher the flames in fire investigations. Fire investigation is sometimes referred to as origin and cause investigation. Fire investigators are working tirelessly to investigate the reality behind the fire, in the trenches of the devastation. After firefighters extinguished a fire, an investigation is launched to determine the origin and cause of the fire. Investigations require knowledge of basic fire science and a systematic approach. Fire investigation is a demanding area of expertise because there is uncertainty about the evidence, which means t

Abstract:

Fire investigation is arguably one of the most difficult areas of investigation. The fire scene and available evidence has often been burnt, melted, smoke-stained, water-damaged and trampled on, but the fire investigator still has to make important distinctions between whether a fire was accidental or deliberate (arson). Modern fire investigations often rely on portable electronic detectors to identify ignitable liquid residue (ILR), or accelerant detection canines (ADCs), trained on a number of target substances.

Abstract:

Arson, the intentional act of setting fire to property, poses a multifaceted challenge for forensic investigators. This detailed article explores the intricacies of identifying arson and understanding the diverse motives that underlie such acts. Incorporating a rich array of international, Indian, and terrorism-related case studies, we aim to provide an exhaustive analysis of the methods employed by forensic science investigators. This article highlights the protocols involved, advanced technologies used and some unique topics that are crucial for the deeper understanding of arson. The conflue

Abstract:

Arson can result in highly challenging and complicated crime scenes. Much physical evidence undergoes chemical degradation because of the destructive nature of fire, while accelerants either completely burn or evaporate, and may be present in traces within any of the decomposed materials. To identify the original material and the accelerant involved, it is necessary to use advanced analytical techniques. Gas chromatography, with different detectors, is one of the most frequently used instruments in fire debris and accelerant analysis. Among other instruments, capillary electrophoresis and lase

Abstract:

Forensic fire debris analysis is an important part of fire investigation, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the accepted standard for detection of ignitable liquids in fire debris. While GC-MS is the dominant technique, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS) is gaining popularity. Despite the broad use of these techniques, their sensitivities are poorly characterized for petroleum-based ignitable liquids. Accordingly, we explored the limit of identification (LOI) using the protocols currently applied in accredited forensic labs for two 7

Abstract:

In the course of the research, it was established that criminal proceedings on intentional destruction or damage to someone else’s property, committed by arson, are complex for legal analysis and pre-trial investigation. This is primarily due to: the nature of fire and explosion as destructive processes that are accompanied by the destruction of many traces of the crime; their problematic nature in proving the person’s guilt (establishing the amount of damage, determining the causal link between the socially dangerous act and its consequences due to the variety of fire and explosion, proving i

Assessment of the residual strength of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to fire is a problem that many times requires a very fast resolution that is necessary for the action of firemen and/or for forensic fire investigation and/or structural assessment of post-fire condition of the building: in all cases safety and integrity of firemen and researchers can be at risk, and it is necessary to have quick and sufficiently reliable information in order to choose whether enter freely, enter with caution or simply do not enter the burned structure, so there is no time or background to develop m

Abstract:

Determining the cause of car fires is a combined expert examination conducted as the examination of a burnt car by the experts of the National Forensic Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia. The expert examination primarily determines whether the fire occurred as a result of spontaneous combustion or it was either a negligent or an intentionally caused fire - arson. The procedure involves an investigation of the scene of the incident and an expert examination of material retrieved from the scene of the fire or from persons who are suspected to have been present a

Abstract:

A fast and correct identification of ignitable liquid residues in fire debris investigation is of high importance in forensic research. Advanced fast analytical methods combined with chemometric tools are usually applied for these purposes. In the present study, the Headspace Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with chemometrics is proposed as a promising technique for the identification of ignitable liquid residues in fire debris samples. Fire debris samples were created in the laboratory, according to the Destructive Distillation Method for Burning that is provi

This study provides an overview of victim and offender data, the cause and manner of death, the dismemberment type, the post-dismemberment alteration, and the forensic investigation, for 35 Spanish forensic cases. The main aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of dismemberment and body part alteration in Spain since 1990, in particular relating to burning. The sample was selected from a Spanish national database on criminal records (CENDOJ). Official court records were examined for 96 variables, which were analysed through non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis (nMDS)
