Our Fire Investigation
K9 service
Our experienced Fire Investigator Handlers work with
their Certificated canines to detect residues of
Ignitable Liquids that may be present in a fire scene.
Following risk assessment and wearing 'canine PPE', the dogs are
able to search a scene efficiently and effectively, the dogs give a
'positive indication' to their Handler when they detect
one of their ten 'target substances', the Handler providing a
streamlined Forensic Reporting (SFR) statement to the Investigation team.
Positive indications are followed by evidential sampling
and laboratory testing to confirm the presence of an
Ignitable Liquid, and so informing the
fire investigation.
Who We Are


Phoenix Forensic Service Provider currently has three dedicated Fire Investigation ILR Detection K9 Teams, able to provide support tailored to our clients' needs - Fire & Rescue, Police or the private and Insurance sector. We leverage years of fire investigation experience and professional K9 handling, providing a valuable capability during fire scene examinations or searches.
Our dogs


Our dogs live, train, work and play with their Handlers, the special bond between K9 and Handler enhancing the operational capability of the team. As well as continual training and annual certification, their health and wellbeing is paramount - the Handler will always risk assess the fire scene for hazards to the dogs, ensure the correct canine PPE is used and continually monitor the dog whilst it's working. Our BS compliant vehicles are equipped with transport cages, air conditioning and K9 first aid kits, whilst we also ensure the highest level of Veterinary care and Insurance (PLI and Canine).
