Dr Peter Mansi Fire Investigation

Dr Peter Mansi Forensic Fire and Explosion Investigator

A Certified Fire Investigator, Evidence Collection Technician and Life Member with the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI), Member of the Chartered Society for Forensic Sciences, Fellow of the Institution of Fire Engineers, Life Member and Fellow of the UK Association of Fire Investigators (UK-AFI) and Past President of the European Association of Fire Investigators (E-AFI). Peter attended a Cause and Origin and Courtroom Techniques Course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centre, Glenco, Georgia, USA in 2002 and a CFI re-certification course with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Washington DC in 2005.

Peter served over 30 operational years in the London Fire Brigade and was the Borough Commander of the City of London and Group Manager for the Fire and Arson Investigation Teams. He has developed a unique comprehensive fire investigation methodology, having designed a series of 23 Fire Investigation Road Maps (FIRMs) and associated guidance to enable the investigator to identify and analyse all available data relating to the causation of a fire or explosion incident without bias, as part of his PhD thesis, based on the study of fire investigation methodologies. This allows a thorough, rigorous and systematic approach to fire investigations ensuring all available data is collected.

Peter has been involved with many of the highest profile fire investigations within the UK and Ireland for more than two decades; the Bethnal Green Road, Stevenage, Bray Co Wicklow, Warwickshire and Southampton Fire Fighter fatalities; Iron Mountain data storage warehouse fire in east London; the Cutty Sark fire; 'Operation Refit' murder investigation (Hertfordshire); the Royal Marsden Hospital, 19 fatalities fire in Doha (Qatar), Riga Castle fire (Latvia), the Lakanal high rise multi-fatal fire and Grenfell Tower. If there is a 'thermal event', (it catches fire!) Peter will investigate its origin, cause and development.
