Oilfield Fire Investigation
Specialized Fire Investigations for Oilfield Operations
Oilfield environments present unique fire risks due to the presence of fuel, chemicals, and heavy industrial equipment. When a fire occurs, determining its origin and contributing factors is critical for safety, liability, and operational continuity. At Clearwater Fire Forensics, we provide specialized oilfield fire investigations backed by extensive industry experience and forensic expertise.
In-Depth Understanding of Oilfield Hazards
Fires in oilfield operations often involve multiple risk factors, from high-pressure fuel systems to electrical infrastructure and environmental conditions. Our investigators are trained to assess:
- Fuel and chemical storage systems – leaks, ruptures, or handling errors.
- Electrical systems and equipment – shorts, overloads, or failures in high-demand environments.
- Heavy-duty machinery and vehicles – engine, hydraulic, and fuel system vulnerabilities.
- Operational and environmental factors – such as static discharge, flammable vapours, or heat sources.

Clearwater Fire Forensics provides rapid deployment across Western Canada, securing the scene quickly and beginning the investigation before critical evidence is lost.
