Self-heating and spontaneous combustion are among the most perplexing and enigmatic aspects of fire investigation.<\/p>

Dr Andrew Moncrieff<\/a> will look at the age\u2011old idea of spontaneous human combustion, exploring reasons why a human body might suddenly burst into flames with no outside influences. He will be answering questions such as ‘what is it?’<\/em>, ‘what does it involve?’<\/em> and ‘is it self-heating?’<\/em>.<\/p>

He will also give wider consideration to self-heating and spontaneous combustion, concentrating on the aspects most relevant to insurance losses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
