title: The forensic examination of a fire-damaged vehicle.
abstract: The Lothian and Borders Police Forensic Science Laboratory was asked to assist in the investigation of a suspected fraudulent insurance claim involving a fire-damaged motor vehicle. This case demonstrates the persistence of fire accelerants when confined, and the reproducible nature of volatiles created from the accelerated burning of a synthetic material.
