There’s been a fire! Your job is to figure out where the fire started, and how. You will use evidence left behind and scientific reasoning to make a valid and reliable claim.

Fire investigation is a complex job that involves science, technology, engineering, and math to understand the story of how a fire originated.  How do fire investigators find evidence among this debris that helps them formulate a claim about the way the fire started or where it started? Knowledge of fire science!

UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute conducts research on fire dynamics and offers training to help fire investigators solve their cases. This real-world application of science, technology, engineering, and math is how you’ll solve your own case!

Are you ready to take the role of a fire investigator and learn the knowledge and skills necessary to solve the case.
