Fire development picture

Fire may images are on the operating forces of the fire brigade and the police -made immediately after arrival at a fire scene light images .

The difficulty in determining the cause of the fire , which is carried out by the criminal police , consists, among other things, in locating the source of the fire or the point of origin of the fire. Only when the source of the fire has been identified can there be further research into the cause. Therefore, the deployed police officers or firefighters are asked to take photos of the fire as soon as they arrive. However, rescuing people or property always has priority.

By making such fire development images, not only can the investigation costs be reduced considerably, but the injured party can also get compensation more quickly thanks to this time saving. Fire development images are created with a photo or mobile phone camera, a video camera or permanently installed cameras such as public surveillance cameras.
