多年来,笔者通过火灾原因调查实践深深地体会到,公安消防火灾原因调查人员要想胜任本职工作,迅速准确地认定火灾原因,其基本素质必须与飞跃发展的现代科学技术相适应,并应具备一定的物理和化学方面的基础知识,否则在调查认定火灾原因的过程中会感到困难重重,步履维艰,有的甚至会错定火灾原因,导致严重的后果和不良影响.例如,70年代中期,N市一街道居民易燃棚户区发生火灾,当天风狂火猛,烈焰肆虐,无情的大火迅速延烧、很快便焚毁了几十户人家.由于起火快,现场又没有目击者,火灾原因调查一时处于困顿状态.在一次火灾原因调查分析会上,一位人调人员突发奇想,郑重其事地说:“这个棚户区位于陵园墓地山下,墓地的坟茔堆上经常会出现‘鬼火’(即磷火),会不会是鬼火被风刮到山下烧着了易燃棚户”.此话一出,顿时引得大家哄堂大笑,后经火调人员在当地居民中进行深入细致地调查 Over the years, the author through the fire investigation and practice of deep experience that the police fire cause of the investigators in order to be competent in their own work, quickly and accurately identify the cause of the fire, its basic qualities must be compatible with the rapid development of modern science and technology, and should Have some basic knowledge of physics and chemistry, otherwise they will find it difficult and difficult to find out the cause of the fire in investigation, and some may even misjudge the cause of the fire and cause serious consequences and adverse effects. For example, in the mid-1970s, A fire broke out in a flammable shantytown on the street of a city in N City where the fierce winds and flames raged and the heartless fire spread rapidly and soon dozens of families were burned down. Temporarily in a state of exhaustion .A survey of causes of fire at a meeting, a transfer personnel whim, solemnly said: “This shantytown is located in the cemetery graveyard hill, cemetery tomb piles often appear ’Witchcraft’ ( That is, phosphorus fire), will it be a witchcraft was the wind blowing down the mountain burning flammable shanty. ”This remark out, suddenly attracted everyone laughter, after the fire transfer Depth and detailed investigation of the local population
