Abstract

This chapter serves as an introduction to the fire debris analysis discipline. It covers a wide range of topics including an introduction to fire investigation, analysis of fire debris evidence, classification of ignitable liquids, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data interpretation, other fire debris examinations, and report writing. Though this chapter cannot cover every aspect of fire debris analysis in details, it should provide a great foundation and starting point for students and examiners working in this discipline.
