From the Paper:

"Barring anything obvious such as this, the information collected about the fire is usually left up to the investigation team and the Fire Marshall, because they have more experience in fire investigation and also the equipment and technology to do detailed analysis on clues that they find to help them determine what started the fire, when the fire got started, and potentially who started the fire if it is deemed to be deliberate. The technology available to fire investigators is very important. As criminals get smarter, it is necessary that technology work to keep up with these more advanced criminals so that they are not able to get away with crimes like insurance fraud and arson so easily."
