Boat Fire Investigations

Boat Fire Investigations are different than house fires or car fires. Here’s why:

Fires on the water are different. Construction methods make marine fires ventilate differently. Steel, fiberglass and wood hulls all have their own characteristics, as do the various fuels and materials stowed on board. Every boat, barge, fishing trawler, freighter, tanker, drilling rig yacht and personal watercraft fire is unique.

Plus, boat fires are more interesting. In fact, it’s one of our favorite types of cases. We investigate boat fire both large & small; private and commercial.

What makes Rich Meier so good at Boat Fire Investigations?

Experience. Before he became a fire investigator, he designed and built parts for marine power, electrical and fuel systems. He knows how boats are built and how marine systems can fail. Now, that insider knowledge gives him an edge in his frequent marine origin and cause investigations. An experienced scuba diver, Rich Meier can start your fire investigation before the vessel is even pulled from the water.
