Cannabis Fires - A Growing Problem

CILA Property SIG members will discuss the significant increase in seizure of cannabis plants in the UK over the last few years and how this increase has resulted in a major rise in the number of fires related to the illegal factories or farms. The topic is explored from the perspective of an Insurer, Loss Adjuster and Forensic Investigator with a number of real life examples considered demonstrating the challenges of this growing issue. This type of investigation when handling such claims is inherently difficult because virtually all will have been previously investigated by the Police and Fire Service. In most cases, the scene will have been all but destroyed and the significant evidence removed.
