Whenever there are forest/building/house fires and authorities come in to inspect (after the firefighters are done controlling it, of course) I always wonder how they trace and find the true cause behind it. How can they gather proof if everything is burnt? How do they know where it started exactly? Does the area around the source look even more scorched than the rest?

Thank you in advance 🙂

There are also private companies which go out to scenes and determine the cause of a fire. My mom works for one and if it is an appliance or electric thing they take it to their laboratories and figure out why it caught on fire!
