Passenger Vehicle Fire Investigation Case Study
A policyholder reported their sedan stolen, only for it to later be found burned. They filed a claim with their auto insurer, prompting the carrier’s SIU team to step in to help verify the facts of the claim. One central question they had was: How did the fire start?
To get answers, an SIU team member engaged National Fire Experts (NFE) certified fire investigators.
Request a copy of the case study and find out how NFE:
- Conducted a systematic investigation of the vehicle
- Evaluated all potential ignition sources to identify the most plausible one
- Collected, documented, and preserved fire debris for lab analysis to detect ignitable liquid residue
- Researched the vehicle and its VIN for open recalls
- Determined the fire’s most plausible origin and cause
