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?

The answer is things like chemical traces left at the site and burn patterns.
On the other hand 10ish years ago it came out that a significant chunk of arson analysis techniques had no real scientific backing or proof of any sort, like bite comparison turned out to be. It was quite a big thing for a bit that I lost track of.
