Ormsby Forensics has extensive experience in the investigation of fires and explosions for Insurers, Loss Adjusters, Solicitors and Private Companies. We have investigated fires at residential and rental properties, as well as commercial, retail and industrial properties. Our experts are highly trained in analysing and interpreting patterns of damage and physical evidence to pin point the origin and causation of fires and explosions. We use this knowledge to assist our clients with decisions on subrogation and recovery opportunities, policy repudiation and potential liabilities.

Some common types of fires we investigate include:

• Arson
• Faulty workmanship, e.g. incorrect chimney installation.
• Domestics and Electrical Appliance Fires
• Machinery and Plant Failures
• Commercial Premises Fires
• Accidental Fires (use of candles, smokers materials etc)
• Fire Suppression Failure

Ormsby Forensics has a dedicated laboratory centrally located in Athlone, where we can conduct further detailed experiments on collected evidence, defective and incendive appliances and devices.
