Investigation of fire‐damaged buildings

Abstract

Introduction Most professionals engaged in the investigation of fire‐damaged buildings are very conscious of the potentially dangerous environment in which they work. Fire‐damaged structures generally have no remaining services, these either having been destroyed or disconnected. The damaged parts of the structure are generally all in one colour — black — as a result of extensive smoke damage, and visibility in the absence of artificial lighting is invariably poor.
