<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>Fire investigation employs an interdisciplinary approach, integrating knowledge from fire science, chemistry, materials science, emergency management, and engineering, and applying it systematically through a forensic lens. In Australia, fire investigation spans both the public and private sectors, and pathways into the field are extremely varied. Although there are globally available guidelines for fire investigation, given the variation in initial and ongoing training and education of fire investigators, scene‐to‐scene variations, and the enduring changes in modern materials and building practices, the evolution and refinement of investigative methodology largely relies on the communication of tacit and experiential knowledge of the investigative cohort. This article provides a brief review of some fundamental fire investigation principles and discusses the introduction of the Fire Origin Matrix method of origin determination for fire investigation. We then highlight the challenges in the uptake and understanding of novel methods for fire investigation, discuss some of the barriers to advancing fire investigation, and provide some comments on the future of fire investigation in Australia.</jats:p> |
