Decoding Complex Claims: Kitchen Fires Webinar Recording

More than 167,800 residential cooking fires and losses occurred in 2023, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Fire Administration. National estimates totaled nearly $573 million in losses.  

While unattended cooking is a major cause of these costly events, other circumstances that may not be a policyholder’s fault can also ignite fires. Learn more about these different fire origins—and how they could point to subrogation potential—through the Decoding Complex Claims: Kitchen Fires webinar recording. 

Alpine Intel Technical Education Trainer Kevin Huelsman covers:  

1. Fire sources: user error and misuse, installation errors, and component failures 
2. Kitchen items linked with fires: ovens/ranges, major appliances, minor appliances, and electrical systems 
3. The fire investigation process, touching on interviews, evidence and data collection, and laboratory testing 
4. Kitchen fire case studies
