Fire Marshal Agent

How certain are you that this fire was intentionally set? No doubt. No doubt.

When you're not there at the scene, you don't see what we've seen. Not always does every little tidbit end up in a report.

We're looking for anything and everything that could have contributed to the origins of this fire. If they weren't there, you needed to be there when we were doing the examinations.

We needed to identify the area of fire origin and what may have caused that fire.

Where the greatest damage is at, where the fire patterns are at. We're looking at everything and everything in this picture that may have something to do with the origin of the fire.

I believe the fire is over here. Actually, it's in these cabinets, where these cabinets used to be above the stove area.

All the controls are in the off position, and there is no fire damage in the interior of this oven to show that this was some type of cooking fire.

So we're starting to run out of accidental causes, and we could identify at least three very simple and easy ways to exit this residence.

It was what I would call a survivable fire. This young lady was a paramedic. She's used to dealing with emergencies. For her to totally lose her perspective and stand there and try and fight that fire. When you start putting all these things together, then you start coming up with, okay, this makes no sense.
