Have you ever stood on the ashes of a scene, the air tinged with the scent of smoke, and wondered about the story the char can tell you ? That curiosity is at the heart of our latest guest, Lucy Pinkard , whose own tale winds through forensic science classrooms, the gritty reality of crime scene investigation, and into the world of the private sector fire investigator. She's here to fan the flames of intrigue and share how her career has evolved from public to private sector FI.
Lucy lights up our conversation with her experiences transitioning from public service to the private sector.
As she pulls back the curtain, we uncover the necessity of honest, ethical practice and the critical hands-on scenarios that shape the craft of an expert witness, from the ashes of fire scenes to the hallowed halls of courtrooms.
Our journey through the smoke doesn't stop there; we delve into the technological advances and challenges that keep fire investigators on their toes, from lithium-ion battery risks to the potential of detection canines. The fusion of Lucy’s ' practical skills and formal education showcases the importance of adaptability and lifelong learning in solving the mysteries of fire. She paints a world where each clue is a chapter in a larger narrative.
