How cause of fire investigated by forensic team after a complete property burned to ashes?
In: 9
Ash isn’t uniform. It has varying composition, position and locations and can provide immense information. For example, different types and temeperatures can be asertained to see where fire was and how intense it was in different places, they can measure wire which may not actually burn normally, unless there was an electric fault. It could melt or deform but chemically would be unburnt, save for the fault.
Or accelerant will leave chemical traces behind in the ash.

Sometimes they can’t figure out what has happened due to the damage, it depends how intense the fire was and how much damage was done. The second Glasgow school of art fire for instance, the fire service have a few ideas but will never be able to tell exactly what happened, unlike the first fire.

There is a lot information to gain from many burn sites. your example is actually pretty good.
If the property completely burned to ashes, it’s very likely a propellant was used.
So they check the ashes and area around for traces of that. And/or check all places nearby selling fire propellants and see if someone bought huge quantities. And so on.
