Boat Fire Origin and Cause Case Study

A policyholder doing maintenance on his recently purchased boat suddenly found himself having to escape a fire and seek out emergency services. The boat was almost completely consumed by the flames, and the owner sustained burns. The adjuster handling the claim needed to know the plausible origin and cause of this fire, so they turned to the certified investigators with National Fire Experts.
Read the Boat Fire Origin and Cause Case Study to learn how the investigator arrived at two plausible causes, highlighting the most plausible, by using:
- Eyewitness statements about the events leading up to and during the fire
- The responding fire department’s report
- An investigation of the boat following NFPA guidelines
