Criminal Investigation of Fire

The criminal investigation represents the totality of police powers, measures, and activities undertaken when there is reasonable suspicion that a crime or misdemeanor is being planned or has been committed. Fire-related criminal investigation is a specific and complex process aimed at determining the cause of a fire and identifying perpetrators of criminal acts, such as arson or acts endangering public safety. It involves on-site examinations, expert analyses, evaluation of physical evidence, and witness questioning, often leading to criminal charges for endangering life and property.
