- Abstract
- The results of investigations of real fires are used by many authorities and go into establishing the liability or guilt of an accused or the foundations of fire prevention policies. The accuracy of these results is, in many cases, open to question because of the interpretive nature of such evidence. The author examines some areas where inaccuracy may exist and attempts to define the nature of the errors.
