In NFPA 921 Chapter 4, Basic Methodology, states that the scientific method is applicable to the field of fire investigation as a systematic approach in developing and testing origin and fire cause hypotheses. Fire investigation cannot be left to the discretion of an individual without adequate proof to back up the theory. We may have heard during reports of fire incidence when the investigator is queried the reply would be “That is the only thing that can cause the fire, what else is there”, (in which the investigator would have eliminated certain scenarios to arrive at the conclusion) but where is the proof can it withstand scrutiny. In fire investigation, the three most important things are fire origin, fire cause, and responsibility.
