dfa Engineering Services Inc. - Fire and Explosion Investigation

FIRE & EXPLOSION INVESTIGATION

What We Do | Case Studies | Fire Modelling | Recall Information

dfa investigates building, automobile, marine and machinery fires to determine:

Origin & cause
Fire development & behaviour
Detection & suppression activation
Fire code compliance
Protection & prevention
Product liability
Damage severity & scope of repairs

State-of-the-art laboratory techniques and ASTM standard methods are used in fire debris analysis for flammable liquids. Simplified zone models, and the more sophisticated field models using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical methods are used to model fire phenomenon.

dfa engineers have performed more than 1000 fire-related investigations over the past 18 years. Our professional affiliations include the Professional Engineers of Ontario, Society of Fire Protection Engineers, Canadian Association of Fire Investigators, and International Associations of Arson Investigators. Our professional engineers have been admitted as expert witnesses, and offered opinion evidence at courts in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
