USFA Fire Burn Pattern Tests
Federal Emergency Management Agency
United States Fire Administration
In the late 1990's, the United States Fire Administration undertook research into the phenomena of fire patterns. This research now forms the basis for much of the theory behind modern fire investigation. Kennedy & Associates staff members were integral in this research project.
This copy of the USFA Burn Pattern Report is provided by John A. Kennedy & Associates as a service to the fire investigation community.
