What is a Large or Major Fire
Loss?
A major fire or explosion incident may include fatal fires, fires in
high-rise buildings, incidents involving major damage to large complexes
or multiple buildings, conflagrations involving large monetary loss, or
fires resulting in large number of person injuries. While major
incidents are not always large in size or magnitude, they do tend to be
more complex. As a result, the primary goals in such circumstances are
to preserve the evidence and to preserve the interests of the different
parties involved.
