When the smoke finally clears little is left among the ashes… Scant evidence of the devastating loss to people and property, and even less evidence of what started the fire, or how resulting damages were experienced. The one certainty is that someone will have to provide restitution.​

RTI has served as team leaders and principal investigators on
numerous major fire loss investigations:

  • Dupont Plaza Hotel Fire – San Juan, Puerto Rico
  • Hinsdale Telephone Central Office Fire – Hinsdale, Illinois
  • MGM Grand Hotel Fire – Las Vegas, Nevada
  • New Word Tower High-Rise Fire – Miami. Florida
  • One Market Plaza High-Rise Fire – San Francisco, California
  • Power Plant Cable Tunnel Fire – Australia
