Unlock the Answer: The Origin of the Fire

Context

Did you make a claim about the origin of the fire? Is your claim supported with evidence, and reasoning just like fire investigators have to do?

If so, it’s time to unlock the answers. Watch this video to learn how the fire started, but remember we can only KNOW the true origin because this fire was conducted in the Fire Safety Research Institute’s fire lab. In real life investigators don’t always get the answer.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in the fire science industry, there are so many exciting options!
