Fire & Forensics Investigations

Shield specializes in determining the origin & cause of fires and explosions.  Our Forensic Investigation Division is staffed with a team of nationally certified fire investigators with backgrounds ranging from law enforcement, fire service, and Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).  Shield’s response team includes support from engineers and scientists, environmental professionals, and industrial hygienists.  

The scene of a fire or explosion presents many challenges for an owner or insurance adjuster.  Shield has the capability to conduct a thorough origin & cause investigation, manage the clean-up of a large scale incident, perform structural analysis of affected structures, evaluate mechanical and HVAC systems, conduct environmental impact studies and sampling, as well as provide claims review to ensure accuracy all with one phone call.  Our broad spectrum of services allows Shield to design a response team, based on our clients’ needs, to handle any type of incident.
