Let Apex lead the way in setting the gold standard for forensic fire investigations in South Africa.
Our core service is the detailed investigation of the origin and cause of fire incidents. Using state-of-the-art fire science technology and techniques, we meticulously analyze the evidence, reconstruct fire events, and determine the cause, be it accidental, electrical, arson, or otherwise. We strictly follow the NFPA 921 methodology, which provides a recognized and structured approach to fire investigation. This ensures that our findings are scientifically sound, defensible in court, and grounded in the latest fire investigation standards.
Prevention is always better than cure. We offer comprehensive pre-fire assessments to evaluate and ensure that your property, facility, or operation adheres to fire safety standards. These proactive inspections help identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in building designs, fire suppression systems, and safety protocols, allowing you to take corrective actions before disaster strikes. Our engineers apply the latest fire safety regulations and engineering principles to safeguard your premises.
After a fire incident, our experts conduct thorough post-fire compliance audits. These assessments determine whether fire safety systems, building codes, and regulations were adhered to and whether they performed as intended during the event. Our findings help identify gaps in fire safety protocols and can be vital for insurance claims, legal proceedings, and regulatory reviews.
We understand that fires often have significant legal and financial implications. Our team of fire science engineers and legal experts is adept at providing testimony in court, offering expert opinions, and supporting legal teams in fire-related cases. We work closely with insurance companies to deliver factual, unbiased reports that help settle claims efficiently and accurately.
Our team includes professionals who have served on the front lines of the fire brigade. This experience gives us invaluable insights into real-world fire dynamics, firefighting strategies, and fire behavior. Our investigators have an on-the-ground perspective, allowing them to better understand the nuances of fire incidents and to deliver more accurate findings.
