  • Detection & suppression activation
  • Fire code compliance
  • Protection & prevention
  • Product liability
  • Damage severity & scope of repairs

State-of-the-art laboratory techniques and ASTM standard test methods are used in fire debris analysis for flammable liquids.

Simplified zone models, and more sophisticated field models using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) areused to model fire phenomenon.

DFA engineers have perfomred more than 1000 fire-related investigations over teh past 20 years. Our professional affiliations include the Professional Engineers of Ontario, Society of Fire Protection Engineers, Canadian Association of Fire Investigators, and International Associatins of Arson Investigators.
