Fire scenes are different then regular crime scenes because they involve different procedures and they don't require a warrant. Plus in a fire investigation it is crucial to get evidence as soon as possible and not waste any time. What is the blast effect? Blast effect is when gases are pushed outwards from the bomb site. What are the two types of high explosives? The two types of explosives are primary explosive and secondary explosives. Primary explosives are easily ignited but secondary explosives are less sensitive to the heat and friction. What is a substrate control? Why is it done? Substrate control is a substance that hasn't been affected and it's compared to a substance that has become contaminated. How is the evidence from a fire scene collected? What should be avoided? Many substances are collected from where it is believed that the fire started and they are put in airtight containers to prevent of operation of any flammable liquid that may be present. Critical Thinking Questions What do you think would be the most challenging part of investigating a fire or explosion crime scene? Why? I think the most challenging part of investigating a fire or explosion is collecting evidence because most of the evidence is either going to be destroyed or many of the flammable liquids have evaporated so the evidence sometimes is not useful.
Do you think search warrants should be required for fire scenes? Why or why not? I do not Think search warrants should be required for fire scenes because of a fire has primary substances they could be ignited easily and more evidence could be destroyed so you have to collect evidence as soon as possible to prevent that. Do you think more countries should adopt the practice of putting color coded chips in explosive
