Understanding System Failures During a Fire.

Fire protection engineering is a multi-faceted discipline employing sound engineering principles to protect life and property from the effects of unwanted fire and explosions. Fire safety systems and features are designed with reliability and safety in mind, but even well-designed systems can fail under certain conditions.

Forensic fire protection engineering focuses on investigating these failures to understand what went wrong and why.

Coffman’s forensic fire protection engineers bring decades of experience investigating a wide variety of installed fire protection systems across the industry, supporting fire loss investigations, and assisting with claims or litigation.

Our fire protection engineers are also experienced and qualified to assist fire investigators with technical issues related to fire spread, fire dynamics, fire protection system performance, fire modeling and building/fire code reviews to support fire loss investigations.
