    March 2009 Training Seminar-Live Burn

    The March, 2009 seminar involved  live burn scenarios, giving everyone involved a chance to observe and participate in the entire investigation process from the Investigators perspective and from an Electrical Engineer’s standpoint as well.  The seminar included the burning of structures, observing fire dynamics at various stages, ventilation, temperatures from the incipient, free burning, flashover and post flashover stages, and the examination of burn patterns and the effects of circumstances that can change those patterns.  

    At the completion of the burns, each of the five structures, that had been built and burned by the CCAI Board and other volunteers, were then methodically examined by teams of two Investigators, who explained the entire investigative process to their group of attendees, in an attempt to determine the origin and cause.  Each investigative team had an Electrical Engineer and Accelerant Detection Canines at their disposal and were able to submit recovered evidence samples to CCAI’s own mythical lab (as cause of ignition was known to only a select group of individuals).
