Consultation Services
A Focused Review of the Fire Investigation Record
Fire cases can involve scene documentation, photographs, reports, fire dynamics, origin-and-cause analysis, medicolegal findings, witness information, and work performed by several agencies or disciplines. Understanding how those parts relate can be essential before counsel decides what questions to pursue.
Red Ember Forensics reviews available case materials through a holistic investigative lens. The consultation is intended to help legal professionals understand the event and investigative record, identify areas that may require clarification, and prepare for informed discussion with investigators or other qualified specialists.
Consultation With Particular Depth in Fatal Fire Matters
Cases involving a death add layers of technical and procedural complexity. Fire-scene findings may need to be considered alongside pathology, toxicology, forensic anthropology, recovery practices, and the sequence of investigative decisions made at the scene.
Red Ember Forensics brings specialized fatal fire investigation knowledge to the review while recognizing the distinct role of each discipline. When an issue requires an opinion outside the consultation’s scope, counsel can determine whether an additional specialist should be engaged.

A Practical Starting Point
The first step is a discussion of the matter, the available materials, the questions counsel is trying to answer, and the type of review being considered. Scope and next steps can then be determined based on the specific request.
Red Ember Forensics does not provide legal advice, and a consultation does not guarantee a particular investigative or legal conclusion.
Training Is Also Available for Investigative Organizations
Agencies and professional organizations seeking instruction can review general fire investigation training or explore specialized training for fatal fire investigations.
