How do firemen know the cause of a fire after everything has burnt down?

700 views

Often times you hear about the cause of a fire being a cigarette for example. However, isn’t the cigarette already long gone after the house/forrest/etc. has burnt down? How is it still possible find out what started the fire?

My Chief went to a convention where they literally take donated cadavers and burn them. They also have an extensive case database to reference.

They essentially study exactly what effects different kinds of arson have on a person.

Basically, if you try to dispose of evidence by burning a body, you’re going to get caught, lol.
