We are incorporated in the State of Washington and are licensed or authorized to conduct investigations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, North & South Dakota and California. The five principal investigators in the company have more than 90 years experience in the fire service and more than 60 years combined experience actively investigating the origin and cause of 4,800 accidental and incendiary fires. All of our investigators are Certified Fire Investigators under the IFSAC (International Fire Service Accreditation Congress) or the IAAI (International Association of Arson Investigators) system and many have testified as expert witnesses in federal and state courts. All have studied under some of the premier fire scientists in the nation, including Dr. John DeHaan, author of Kirk's Fire Investigation, Vytenis Babruskis, Dr. James Quintiere, author of Principles of Fire Behavior, and Dr. David Icove, co-author of Forensic Fire Scene Reconstruction. Original research in fire growth and development by Q• investigators was used in both the DeHaan and Icove books. Q•Global is ready to assist with fire origin and cause investigation. We maintain a 24 hour cellular telephone connection, or we can be contacted through our e-mail: GJohnson@QdotGlobal.com In addition, Q•Global maintains a secure facility for the storage of evidence (fire or other) including tracking and chain of custody to court accepted standards. Evidence collected by Q•Global or by others may be retained for the longer time periods often required during an on-going legal process. Q•Global also offers canine accelerant detection services (ADK9). We know that it is sometimes difficult to find a competent fire investigator should a major loss occur. Q•Global has investigators continuously available throughout the Pacific Northwest. We can help with the highest quality investigative effort available.
