Fire Investigation

3. the rapid combination of a substance with oxygen that produces light and heat
6. combustion that is rare and is the result of a natural heat producing process in poorly ventilated areas
8. the movement of heat through an object
9. the area of a sealed evidence container which may contain vapors to be analyzed
11. a handheld device that can help find traces of flammable liquid vapors
12. the deliberate act of setting property on fire
13. where the fire began
15. a sample of uncontaminated evidence used to compare against
16. combustion that is smoldering or burning at the fuel-air interface

1. the transfer of heat energy by the movement of molecules within a liquid or gas
2. the minimum temp at which a fuel spontaneously ignites
4. the transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic radiation
5. any material used to start or sustain a fire
7. the minimum temp at which a fuel produces enough vapor to burn
10. the critical gas needed for fire to burn
14. a technique used to analyze the chemical makeup of evidence
