It’s important to know where the fire may have originated to ensure that it cannot happen again. This means visiting the scene with trained experts who will look at a number of different aspects:

• What was the pattern of damage?
• What was the arc damage? (The result of a rapid release of energy, possibly because of electrical failure)
• How did the fire ventilate?
• What materials burned
• Was work being performed by an outside contractor or company in the home or in the nearby area?
• Where is the lowest level of fire damage?
• Where is the area of the most severe fire damage?

Research and eyewitness testimony will help the experts determine what led to the fire. Every fire is unique, so it is essential to have a qualified professional go through these steps to determine the cause and origin of the fire.
