Fire Debris

Fire Debris examinations arise due to suspicious fires in buildings, home, cars, etc. Fire debris submitted to the lab is analyzed for ignitable liquids using activated charcoal and a gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer (GC/MS). Evidence submitted for fire debris analysis must be submitted in an air tight container, such as a metal paint can, a glass jar, a nylon bag or a Kapak bag. Evidence not packaged in an air tight container will not be worked.
