As fire burns, it leaves clues in its path — evidence visible only to trained fire investigators. With an understanding of fire science, fire investigators hunt for clues, collect evidence and report on what happened.

Join us at UL’s Fire Lab to work side by side with fire scientists through a series of videos, interactive tools and experiments. You’ll learn how fire is defined, how it develops, and how the evidence left behind suggests how and where it started. Once trained, you become the fire investigator who determines the cause of a fire using the scientific method to establish a claim based on evidence from the scene!
