A Maryland fire science practice with its own laboratory in the Baltimore–Washington corridor, applying combustion science, computational fire modelling and performance-based analysis to fire and explosion investigation — testing whether a postulated cause and the reported fire development are physically consistent, and presenting the reconstruction as animated fire modelling. Principal engineer Stephen Olenick (PE, CFEI) is experienced in deposition and trial testimony and Jamie McAllister (PhD, PE, CFI) combines fire protection engineering with forensic toxicology; the firm’s engineers have testified in state, district and federal courts in civil and criminal matters.
