O&C Investigations

Fire is a ruthless and devastating force of nature, and yet it adheres to the predictable laws within a confined space. John Rotello, an authority in fire analysis, assembles the factors and information necessary to determine the point of fire origin and develops a hypothesis as to the cause of the fire.

From the incipient stage of the fire through the last day of testimony the fire puzzle will be put together by:

documentation of the fire loss,
analysis of the fire’s intensity and movement patterns,
determination of the area of fire origin,
ascertainment of the potential causes for the fire,
notification of all interested parties,
the hiring of additional specialists when needed,
the proper collection, packaging, and securing of evidence,
testing of hypothesis,
re-examination of the case,
fire cause determination,
preparation of the case for trial, and
presentation of the case to the jury.
