Thank you for attending “What’s Burnin’: Hash Browns or Hash Oil?” at the 2025 SCFIA Conference

Thank you everyone who attended our presentation at the 2025 SCFIA Conference! Ulises Castellon, CPCU, RPA – CEO of Fire Cause Analysis, presented “What’s Burnin’: Hash Browns or Hash Oil?”

“Household and commercial products are increasingly connected to the Internet and intertwined with other systems. Batteries are providing the ‘juice’ for everything from the electric vehicles to e-cigs. Add a bit of cannabis to the mix and we often see explosive results. This program takes the “mystery” out of the world of contemporary fire investigations. Visually compelling fire cases involving everyday appliances and systems will be used to illustrate effective forensic fire investigations that comport with industry standards and NFPA 921. We’ll discuss some of the systems and mechanisms that fail and cover how to effectively investigate these types of fires. This session is designed to provide insurance professionals with the proper tools and perspective to evaluate a variety of fire scenarios and to utilize & manage the right experts on their cases.”
