Evidence Collection

Evidence Collection & Storage
Experts and engineers collect evidence, and secured evidence storage facilities are provided. Many lawsuits arise from the destruction or loss of evidence. We have eliminated those risks by having strictly enforced guidelines and tightly controlled evidence procedures. Evidence is carefully collected and preserved.

Evidence that is collected for testing and further analysis is maintained under secure conditions while being examined by various engineering disciplines. After scientific analysis, the evidence is transferred into permanent secured storage where it can easily be retrieved when needed. You can expect FFI to handle evidence with the care and attention it deserves.

Expert Witness

The expert’s testimony is the cornerstone of an arson case. It establishes the Corpus Delicti of arson and serves as the framework for all other evidence in the trial. Expert testimony is not just important to an arson case, it is essential. One of the unique aspects of arson cases is that they always require expert testimony at trial,  for this reason Fahrenheit Fire has established an additional branch within the firm specialising in Fire Investigations. Fahrenheit Fire Investigations has qualified fire investigators with the required experience, training and education to determine the cause and origin of a fire. By collecting the evidence found at the scene, and  interviewing witnesses, fire fighters etc we help build a case for courtt. The final step in the investigative process is the presentation of expert testimony at trial, which will establish the cause of the fire

Experience has taught us the more than any other witness, the fire investigator as expert witness has the ability to single-handedly influence the outcome of an arson trial.
