It is a method used for clearing the building
of smoke and gases, localize the fire, and
reduce smoke and forcible entry damage.

October 24, 2016 132

 Vertical Ventilation
the method to establish vertical ventilation is
it must be worked from the top and down.
Heated gases and smoke rise to the highest
point and, if confined, will tend to
“mushroom” or rise to the highest point of
the building, exerting their heating effect on
everything they touch.

Cross or Horizontal ventilation
if the smoke and gases have not reached
the higher levels, cross ventilation can clear
the building one floor at a time. Windows
are the easiest and generally most available
for the common types of buildings, but the
indiscriminate opening of windows and
doors can defeat the purpose of ventilation.

October 24, 2016 185

 What are the roles of the
Firemen in Fire Investigation?
Firemen are usually at the crime scene
ahead of the fire investigators. Hence, they
are valuable sources of information. They
are the so-called “Eyes and Ears” of the

 What is Arson?
is the intentional or malicious destruction of
property by fire.

October 24, 2016 187

 Presidential Decree No. 1613
Special Aggravating Circumstance in Arson
 
If committed with intent to gain:
If committed with the benefit of another:
If the offender is motivated by spite or hatred towards the owner or
occupant of the property burned:
If committed by a syndicate (3 or more persons).

October 24, 2016 188

 Prima Facie Evidence of Arson
1. If the fire started simultaneously in more
than one part of the building or
establishment
2. If substantial amounts of flammable
substance or materials are stored within the
building not necessary in the business of the
offender or for house hold use.

October 24, 2016 189

 Prima Facie Evidence of Arson

3. If gasoline, kerosene, petroleum, or other

flammable or combustible substances or
materials soaked therewith or containers
thereof, or any mechanical, electrical,
chemical, or electronic contrivance designed
to start a fire, a fire, or ashes or traces of
any of the foregoing are found in the ruins or
premises of the burned building or property.
October 24, 2016 190
4. If the building or property is insured for
substantially more than its actual value at
the time of the issuance of the policy.
5. If during the lifetime of the corresponding
fire insurance policy more than two fires
have occurred in the same or other
premises owned or under the control of the
offender and / or insured.

October 24, 2016 191

6. If shortly before the fire, a substantial
portion of the effects insured and stored in a
building or property had been withdrawn
from the premises except in the ordinary
course of business.
7. If a demand for money or other valuable
consideration was made before the fire in
exchange for the desistance of the offender
or the safety of the person or property of the
victim.
October 24, 2016 192
 What Constitutes Arson?
Burning – to constitute burning, pyrolysis
must takes place. In other words, there must
be burning or changing, i.e. the fibber of the
wood must be destroyed, its identity
changed.
Wilfulness – means intentional, and implies
that the act was done purposely and
intentionally.
October 24, 2016 193
Malice – it denotes hatred or a desire
for revenge.
Motive – is the moving cause that
induces the commission of the crime.
Intent – is the purpose or design with
which the act is done and involves the
will.

October 24, 2016 194

 Methods of Proof in Arson
Burning – that there was fire that may be shown by direct
testimony of complaint, firemen responding to the crime,
other eyewitnesses. Burned parts of the building may also
indicate location.
Criminal Design – must show that it was wilfully and
intentionally done. The presence of incendiary devices,
flammables such as gasoline and kerosene may indicate
that the fire is not accidental.

October 24, 2016 195

 Methods of Proof in Arson

Evidence of Intent – When valuables were

removed from the building before the fire, ill-
feeling between the accused and the
occupants of the building burned, absence
of effort to put off fire and such other
indications.

October 24, 2016 196

 What are basic lines of inquiry
in Arson Investigation?
The arson investigator must have to inquire
on the following a) point of origin of fire b)
motives of arsonist c) prime suspects d) the
telltale signs of arson.

October 24, 2016 197

 The Tell Tale Signs of Arson
Burned Building – the type of the building may
indicate a set fire under certain circumstance. A
fire of considerable size at the time the first
apparatus arrive at the scene is suspicious if it is a
modern concrete or semi-concrete building.
 
Separate fires – when two or more separate fire
breaks out within a building. The fire is certainly
