Investigating fire and arson cases involves a lot of challenges. Specialized skills are needed to decipher the causes of fires, solve mysteries behind flames, and determine if arson is at play.

The Fire & Arson Investigation Lab Internship by SIFS India will help you learn to analyze fire-damaged structures and develop the critical skills needed to conduct thorough and effective investigations.

You will learn about the cause of fire spread, distinct fire patterns, the origin of fire, accelerants’ identification, residue analysis, examining content (organic, inorganic, and mineral) at the crime scene, evidence collection and interpretation following legal considerations, fire scene documentation methods, report writing, and expert testimony.

Through hands-on, expert-led training sessions, you will gain professional investigative skills to determine whether fire was accidental or deliberately set necessary for insurance claim purposes. Also, you will learn to handle the complexities of fire and arson cases and assist in identifying suspects and the motive behind their acts.


Training Highlights:

Arson Investigation Methodologies: You will be well-versed in techniques to investigate suspected arson cases and decipher the real cause behind fires.

Fire Scene Analysis: You will be equipped with the skills to collect and interpret evidence found at the fire scenes and decipher the behavior of the fire through a mock fire scene set up.

Hands-On Practical Exercises: With real-world hands-on fire investigation exercises, you will gain knowledge to apply fire investigation techniques even in complex scenarios.

Certification: You will receive a certification upon successful completion, validating your proficiency in fire and arson investigation.

Collaborative Fire Scene Management: You will learn how to collaborate with forensic professionals from different fields and law enforcement agencies, thereby developing your teamwork and communication skills.

Enquiries from Forensic Learners

During the internship, you will learn techniques such as analyzing burn patterns, identifying accelerants, and reconstructing fire scenes to determine the cause and origin of a fire. These skills help differentiate between accidental fires and intentional arson.

To apply, you need to be an undergraduate in forensic science, criminal justice, or related fields. Coursework knowledge in chemistry or experience in fire safety, though not mandatory, ensures you are prepared for the lab work.

Yes, you may participate in analyzing real fire and arson cases. This hands-on experience is vital for understanding real-world fire investigations and applying theoretical knowledge.

Evidence from fire scenes is collected using tools like fire-resistant gloves, evidence bags, and sampling containers. In the lab, it is analyzed for fire residues, burn patterns, and material composition to determine the fire’s cause.

Commonly used tools include gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers for analyzing fire residues, and specialized software for fire scene reconstruction. These tools help in accurately identifying accelerants and understanding fire dynamics.

This internship lasts between 7 days and 6 months, with a structured curriculum that includes both theoretical learning and practical lab work. You will gradually move from basic fire scene analysis to more complex investigations and case studies.

This internship will lead to certification in fire investigation, enhancing your qualifications. It also provides a strong foundation for career opportunities in fire investigation, law enforcement, or forensic science.

Strict safety protocols are followed during lab work in Fire & Arson Investigation, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and masks to safeguard personnel. Proper ventilation systems are in place to minimize exposure to harmful fumes. These protocols collectively create a secure working environment during investigations.

Arson is distinguished from accidental fires by analyzing factors like the presence of accelerants, unnatural burn patterns, and multiple points of origin. These indicators suggest intentional ignition, distinguishing arson from accidental causes.

Ethical and legal considerations include maintaining the integrity of evidence, ensuring a clear chain of custody, and avoiding any bias during analysis. Proper documentation and adherence to legal standards are crucial for the admissibility of evidence in court.
