Scene Examination 566 PARADISE VALLEY ROAD NGONGOTAHA VALLEY
A scene examination was conducted on the 4th and 5th of January 2021, by Fire 
and Emergency NZ, Specialist Fire Investigator 
 to assist the OIC 
with an origin and cause determination. 
Permission was granted by 
 of the property and 
 of the workshop at 
the address.
Information 
The was an extremely large fire and Fire and Emergency NZ appliances were at 
the incident till the morning damping down hot spots.
There were two large garages one approximately 6m by 10m and the other 10m by 
15m.  In between these structures was a gap with two vehicles the tenant was 
working on.
The investigation revealed 
 rented part of 
 property to a person who 
made metal art in this area.  There was a large amount of scape metal on the site

The 
evening of the incident.  
 reported that 
 had been wielding on one of the 
vehicles in the hours leading up to 
 leaving.  
 noticed a small smouldering 
fire in the upholstery of the vehicle after 
 had finished wielding.  
 pattered the 
fire out and put water on it to ensure it was out.  All the windows were up in the 
vehicle and 
 could not see or smell any more smoke.

 walked past the vehicle on 
way out the door. When I 
spoke with 
 said 
 was extremely upset and concerned that the fire 
had started from a spark from 
 wielding.  As part of my investigation I 
considered this as an ignition source.  Fire patterns in and around the vehicle 
indicated that this was not the point of origin.  The vehicle still had upholstery 
visible in the vehicle.  One glass side pane was still in the window with just a crack 
through it.  The side of the vehicle that spark was scene on still exhibited paint to 
the body of the vehicle.  There were glass bulbs still remaining in the front of the 
vehicle.  Given all of the above fire patterns the fire reigniting inside the vehicle 
was discounted as the ignition source.
Released 
Other ignition sources were canvassed 
 reported that 
 may have left a 
bedside lamp on next to a small bottom bunk bed inside the garage.  This was an 
approximately $10.00 bedside lamp. One lamp that looked like the one beside the 
bed was located in that area, however, 
 could not be sure if it was the 
kitchen light as it was of similar design to the lamp.  This lamp located did not 
exhibited enough fire damage to be the ignition source. However, it may not have 
been the bedside lamp that may have been left on.  Therefore, the bedside lamp 
could not be completely discounted as the ignition source.

There was a lot of paint, thinners and other materials that would make the PID 
indicated elevated levels of VOC's. Therefore, the PID was not deployed at the

as an accelerant at the incident. 
A natural fire was considered and eliminated through the process of elimination.  
Information 
There was no information located to support this.
There is no evidence at the conclusion of the scene examination that would 
determine that the fire has been deliberately lit.
There was no evidence of unlawful activity, broken windows, damaged vehicle, fuel 
containers that are foreign to the property or multiple fires.
