In fire investigation, the difference between speculation and a credible conclusion is the method behind it. Every determination made in an investigation must be backed by clear evidence, sound methodology, and rigorous reasoning. Thatโ€™s not just good practice - itโ€™s essential for integrity, safety, and justice.

The scientific method provides investigators with a structured path to uncovering the truth: observe, hypothesize, test, analyze, and conclude. Whether determining origin and cause or evaluating material behavior, this process ensures conclusions can stand up to scrutiny, in the courtroom, in the field, and among peers.

Fire investigation isnโ€™t about instinct or assumptions. Itโ€™s about facts, data, and discipline. Science is the only foundation strong enough to support the weight of a reliable investigation.
