Get to the Truth Behind Every Fire
Independent fire investigation services for insurance, litigation, and loss prevention in Omaha, NE and beyond.
Who We Are
Fire Investigators USA is an independent fire investigation firm based in Omaha, Nebraska. We apply systematic, science-based methodology to determine the origin and cause of fires, explosions, and related incidents. We work with insurance carriers, attorneys, property owners, and municipalities who need objective, defensible findings — not a predetermined conclusion. Our reports are written to stand up in court, in arbitration, and in front of claims departments.
