Fire Investigation

DBI has more than 40 years of experience conducting fire investigations. Every year, DBI investigates hundreds of fires in buildings, vehicles and ships in Denmark and Norway, and our interest in and focus on other countries is increasing. At DBI, top professionalism and quality are paramount, and we are accredited to conduct fire investigations according to DS/EN/ISO 17020 and the Nordic Fire Manual.

DBI fire investigators are certified by the IAAI (International Association of Arson Investigators). DBI is involved in the European standardisation work in this field through the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes and is in the board of the Central European Association of Fire Investigators and the Nordic Association of Fire Investigators.

Early assessment of fire cases

Based on information about a fire, DBI can quickly assess whether a regular fire investigation will provide a useful conclusion. Thereby, you do not waste resources on pointless investigations. Clients receive feedback by email or phone within 24 hours.

Feasibility study and investigation of burnt items

DBI conducts investigations of items suspected of having caused a fire, while a feasibility study ensures that resources are devoted to the right items alone.

3D models of fire scenes

Complete documentation of a fire scene, easy measurement, quick reconstruction and no doubts in the context of disputes. These are some of the benefits of 3D models of fire scenes.

Expert’s report

In the case of a dispute in a court of law, a completely impartial expert’s may be necessary. This is something a designated expert surveyor from DBI can handle.

Experiments and verifications

Can the sofa at the fire scene burn? Can a hairdryer ignite an old chimney? DBI fire investigators will answer the question based on small-scale experiments at fire scenes and verifications in the laboratory.

Save time with an online fire visitation

Often many traces have been destroyed or lost by the time a fire investigator arrives at the fire scene, because clean-up is underway. An online fire visitation can identify potential traces in advance, thereby ensuring that they are safeguarded, until an actual fire investigation is conducted.
