Origin & Cause Fire/Explosion Investigations

Understanding the science of fire should be the most basic part of what any client expects in our profession. Our clients depend on experts who understand how things such as building construction, ventilation, fuel load and configuration, and firefighting tactics can affect fire development and progression. Vergon and Associates Fire Investigation has the capability to explain what happened in a common sense, non-technical manner. Our clients know this is who we are, and they know this is what we do on a consistent basis.

  • We are FAA Certified to deploy UAVs (drones), allowing us to provide high-resolution aerial photographs of the fire scene.
  • We use 3D scanning, iGUIDE and Matterport, which provides virtual reality fire scene walkthroughs.

Subrogation or Liability? The Facts are the Facts

Vergon and Associates Fire Investigation, LLC

When a fire or explosion loss has recovery potential, clients rely on us to know what Origin & Cause investigators must do. From the start, we gather the data and documentation needed to protect every recovery opportunity. As the investigation moves forward, we process the scene carefully, collect potential evidence, and record each detail with accuracy.

We also conduct key Origin & Cause interviews, consult with other experts, and review all available information to form a defensible conclusion. During each step, we work closely with carriers, attorneys, and subrogation teams to keep them informed.

In the end, we bring the facts together to deliver a clear, well-supported opinion and provide expert testimony when needed. Our clients value the experience, professionalism, and consistency our investigators bring to every subrogation and liability case.

Vehicle and RV

Several of our investigators hold the IAAI Motor Vehicle Endorsement. Our team also includes IAAI-Certified Fire Investigators (IAAI-CFI) with specialized expertise in vehicle and RV fire investigations.

We use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify mechanical, electrical, and fuel-related failure points with precision. Whether the loss involves a passenger vehicle, commercial fleet unit, motorhome, trailer, or luxury coach, our investigators understand the unique fire dynamics, material behavior, and system complexities of modern automotive and RV design.

We work closely with insurance carriers, manufacturers, and subrogation professionals to document evidence thoroughly, determine root cause accurately, and preserve recovery opportunities.

With extensive field experience and credentialed training, our team provides reliable and defensible conclusions that stand up in technical evaluations and litigation.
