Wildfires are complex events with significant environmental and financial implications. As we enter wildfire season, this one-hour webinar will provide a practical introduction to wildfire investigations. We’ll breakdown the primary cause categories and discuss the accepted methodology used to investigate a wildfire and determine origin and cause. We’ll conclude with a case study, illustrating how these principles are applied in a real-world scenario.
For the first time in five years, the National Tour is Back on the Road! Our team of engineers and forensic experts will be delivering in-depth presentations on a series of critical industry topics, including:
Each seminar will feature four hours of expert-led discussions, with topics tailored to each city based on local expertise. Attendees will also enjoy a networking lunch, providing valuable opportunities to connect with industry professionals.
We’re thrilled to be speaking in front of a live audience once again and sharing insights that enhance investigative practices and further professional knowledge.

Accurately assessing structural damage is crucial for the efficient and judicious processing of claims. While it can be challenging to undertake a thorough investigation for every claim – especially during sudden increases in volume – surface-level inspections can often miss critical underlying issues, which may lead to costly errors and prolonged disputes.
Our experts delve into the world of forensic structural investigations, revealing how a thorough, in-depth approach can help identify hidden damage and determine the exact cause of structural failures, differentiating between weather events, construction defects, material degradation and other causes.
