This Digest discusses: - which organisations carry out fire investigations - what information can be obtained from a fire investigation - the use of reconstructions and computer modelling in supporting investigations - examples of the benefits of fire investigations to the wider community - case studies that illustrate some of the lessons learned from major incidents.
