Fire The Flamin' Facts

The investigation of fire scenes is a specialist role and the author of this book, Phil Glover, has passionately undertaken that role on a professional basis since 1989.

Following on from his 40 year Fire Service career in New Zealand and Australia, Phil set up his own Forensic Fire Investigation company in early 2006 and conducts fire scene investigations all over Australia and has clients in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand.

Phil has built a reputation as an excellent fire scene investigator through his attention to detail, thoroughness and the fact he is not afraid to stand by his conclusions, which he supports with factual and physical evidence.

This book contains a wealth of knowledge based on the author's experience gained at actual fire scenes he has attended throughout his Fire Service and post Fire Service career and has been summarised in a manner the ordinary home owner will easily understand.

Phil writes with conviction, honesty and 'tells it like it is' and while the theme of the book has a serious intent, Phil has softened that by relating some light hearted anecdotes and experiences.

The fact this book has been written from a position of experience and not just theory or someone else's experiences makes it unique and sets it apart from most other books with similar themes.

Globally, an estimated 9million fires occur in homes every year, resulting in an average of 80,000 deaths, 700,000 fire related injuries and a damage cost in excess of $450billion (US) and the accurate investigation of the causes of fires assists communities, companies and governments to take steps to reduce the instances of fires and reduce the consequences of the fires that do occur.

An established expert witness, Phil's evidence has been proven and accepted by all levels of Courts in New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia with a high degree of success for his clients.

"My Fire Service career has occupied my entire adult life and has not been 'just a job' but a passion. A passion that was instilled in me by my father who was a member of the volunteer fire brigade in my home town of Stokes Valley, New Zealand for many years".
