1 CRJ 248: Scientific Investigation Chapter 14: Arson and Explosive Evidence
2 Red Neck Smoke Alarm
3 Catching a Wildfire Arsonist
4 Potential Agencies at a Fire Scene Police Federal B.A.T.F.E. Ambulance Fire State Fire Marshal Insurance Investigators Gas/Electric Utilities
5 Arson: Willful and malicious burning. Some Motives Profit Revenge Vandalism Crime Concealment Excitement Terrorism
6 Fire Tetrahedron
7 Fire Components Terminology Flashpoint Lowest temp. at which a material will burn under lab conditions. Capable of burning with a flame. Flammable Flame Point Temp. needed to sustain continuous flame. Combustible Fuel Capable of burning in air, under normal conditions. Gas, liquid, or solid at ambient temperature.
8 How is Heat Transferred? Conduction Convection Radiation
9 Four Classifications of Fires Wood, cloth, paper, plastics Liquids, greases, gases Class A Class B Energized electrical equipment Class C Class D Combustible metals like sodium, potassium
10 Combustion Products of Fire Heat Gases Flame Smoke
11 Stages of Fire Development: Incipient (Growth) Stage Begins at the moment of ignition. Flames are originally localized. Gases rise and begin to accumulate. Upward and outward fire spread.
12 Free-Burning Stage More fuel is consumed, fire intensifies. A hot, dense layer of smoke and fire gases is collecting near ceiling. Heat begins to radiate downward. Gases begin to spread throughout the entire building. Rollover occurs when the upper layers ignite. May lead to secondary fires starting.
13 Flash-Over Upper layer reaches approximately 1,100 F. All fuels in the room simultaneously ignite. Temperatures rise to over 1,000 F at the floor level and 2,000 F at the ceiling. The flashover stage may be reached in as little as 2 or 3 minutes.
14 After Fire is Out Notice V pattern and coloration difference in area where fire started.
15 Legal Aspects of Fire Investigation Has authority to investigate. Exigent circumstances, no need for search warrant. Fire Department Later, can get an administrative warrant, without showing probable cause. Can remain on scene for reasonable amount of time to investigate.
16 Two Important Concepts in Fire Investigations Area of Origin Large area where fire might have started. Work from area of least, to most destruction. Point of Origin Location where fire actually started. Multiple points could exist.
17
18 Fire Development Most Damage? V pattern Lowest Fire
19 Structure still intact
20 Possible Sources to be Ruled Out Kitchen stove: Knobs shut off? Yes. Furnace charred? No. Space heater in living room (not in area of most damage). Wood-burning stove in living room (not in area of most damage). Space heater in bedroom (not area of most damage). Water heater in hallway. Occupant smoking, or candle use (none found).
21 Area of Lowest Burning
22 Fire Direction, Area of Lowest Burning, Area of Deepest Charring
23 The Cause
24
25
26
27 Does This Make Sense to You? Wood burning Stove Water Heater
28 Fire Cause Classifications Act of God, lightning Unintentional, can be explained. Natural Accidental Incendiary Undetermined Intentional, criminal Cause unknown
29 Physical Examination of the Fire Scene Analyze Data (Reason) Test Hypothesis (Makes Sense?) Define Problem (Classify Cause) Collect Data (Investigate) Fire Scene
30 Fire Scene Examination How did firefighting efforts change scene? Ask them about fire location/condition. Did they see anything unusual? Document flame/smoke colors. Conduct interviews of witnesses. Interior examination for burn patterns. Note location/condition of doors/windows. Photograph crowd of onlookers. Insure structural integrity before entering scene.
31
32 Smoke Colors
33 Heat Distension of Light Bulbs
34 Burn Patterns Burn patterns will generally lead to the point of most severe damage which contains the point of origin. An exception occurs when a flammable material trail is used. The most common pattern is the V or conical pattern (burns up and out).
35 V Pattern: Exterior View
36 V Pattern: Interior View
37 Electrical Fire Caused by Overloaded Plug
38 Alligator Charring Patterns

43 Inverted Cone Pattern Triangular Pattern
44 Accelerant Pour/Trailer Patterns
45 Normal Fire Paths
46 Typical Fire Development
47 Scene Documentation Photos Inventory of Contents Collection of Physical Evidence 99.9 % of the time, the one who stood to gain the most from the fire is the one who set it.
48 Items Used to Collect Physical Arson Evidence Catalytic Combustion Sensor Layering: Evidence should be examined, and collected in layers. Each layer should be separated.
49 Explosives Investigations: Types of Explosives Low Explosives: Detonation Speed Less Than 3,300 ft./sec. Low Explosives Detonation Speed Less Than 3,300 ft./sec. High Explosives Detonation Speed Greater Than 3,300 ft./sec. Pyrotechnics Black/Smokeless Powder TNT
50 Two Types of Investigations Pre- Detonation Threats Suspicious Items Post- Detonation Aid the injured Watch for secondary device
51 Vapor from a liquid in a confined space will expand when heated until it explodes.
