The Science of Fire Forensics: Investigator’s Academy Guide (pdf, 2 MB)

With an understanding of fire science, you can identify and analyze fire scene evidence to solve a case! This Investigators Notebook serves as a guide to accompany the online Science of Fire Forensics pathway. Use it to record your observations and analysis as you complete the Fire Investigator Academy.

Context

The online pathway is designed to provide students with an understanding of fire, fire dynamics, and fire behavior so that they can read a fire scene and build a claim for the fire’s location of origin and cause.

The videos and interactive investigations within the Fire Forensics: Claims and Evidence module are designed to be applicable in a whole-class or for students to engage with independently. This Investigator’s Academy Notebook provides information and guidance for students as they complete the module.

Questions

  • What is Fire?
  • What are the elements of fire?
  • How does a fire develop?
  • How does fire behave?
  • How does ventilation impact fire?

Problem to be solved

  • Firefighters and fire investigators need to know basic fire science to both fight fires and to uncover the source of a burn.
