FEATURED QUOTES
"The greatest mistake in fire investigation
is not being ignorant of the cause. It is believing we already know it."
"The eyes cannot see what the mind does not know."
"The greatest threat to an investigator is not a lack of information,
but an excess of premature certainty."
"Scientific fire investigation does not need heroes or infallible figures;
it needs rigorous professionals."
"The discipline is sustained by the soundness of reasoning, not by the simple repetition of tradition."
