Abstract

The investigation of fire cases constitutes the set of organizational, technical and operative actions, which includes specific methods and procedures in order to establish the circumstances in which the fire occured, its probable cause and its consequences.

There is increasing concern about the impacts of global warming on fire frequency and severity. Factors such as increased heat, humidity, the drying effect on vegetation, and wind patterns can all affect the way the fire occurs. As a result, fire prevention has become extremely important. The risk of fire is among the most frequent risks that occur on the territory of any country, its occurrence representing an emergency situation, a phenomenon that affects important areas of economic and social activity (buildings, installations, landscaping, forests, means of transport, agricultural crops, etc.). Highlighting the most frequent causes of fires, their dynamics, ensures the permanent improvement of legislation, fire safety regulations, the development of prevention actions as well as the development of educational programs to train society in order to minimize the risks of fires, losses of human lives and material damage as a result.
