Tell tale signs

29
Burned Building- ito yung uri ng gusali na maaaring magpahiwatig ng isang sunog sa ilalim ng ilang mga
pangyayari. kapag ang sang malaking sukat ng apoy sa oras na dumating ang unang kagamitan ay
kaduda-duda kung ang isang modernong kongreto or ang isang semi concrete na gusali ay kasangkot.

30

Separate Fires- sa tell Tale Signs kapag may dalawa or higit pang sunog ang sumiklab sa loob ng isang
gusali, tiyak na kahina-hinala ang gusaling ito.

31

Color of smoke - nabubuo ang usok sa point na magsisimula pa lang ang sunog , kapag na consumed na
ang major proportion nito the value of the smoke is lost and the color of smoke is depends to the
materials burn and the arsonist did not indicate the material used.

• kapag sa hose ay puting usok ang unang lumabas bago ang tubig ay indicates that there is humid
materials burning sa hose.
Ex. Hay, vegetables, phosphorus with garlic odor.

• biting smoke means lack of air, but accompanied of large flames. Nakapaloob dito ay petroleum
products at rubber.

• sa radish brown smoke ay naglalaman ng nitrocellulose.

SI- International System of Units,
H2- one molecule of Hydrogen.
SO4- Sulfate
HNO3-Nitric acid
HCI- human-computer interaction

kapag black smoke with deep red flame material o substance ang nasusunog ito ay petroleum products
tar rubber plastic etc
- kapag heavy brown naman with bright red flame ito ay nitrogen products
- kapag white smoke with bright flame ang substance or material nasusunog ay ito ay magnesium
products
- kapag black smoke with red and blue green flame ito asphalt
- kapag purple violet flame ito ay potassium products
- kapag greenish-yellow flame ito ay chloride or manganese product
- kapag bright reddish yellow flame ito ay calcium products.

35

Smoke marks – kapag ang isang fire marshal ay nag imbestiga sa nangyaring sunog malalaman nya agad
ang volume of smoke involved at a fire based sas mga smoke marks sa fire scene. Yung mga particles ng
smoke known as char or carbon residue na naiiwan after ng sunog. Mula sa light grey to black charcoal,
it appear as a dry powder or as an oily film. Dito rin makikita or malalman kung saan kung saan ba nag
start ang sunog or kung may iba pang nagsimulan nito.

36

Color of flame - ang kulay ng apoy ay isang good indicator para malaman ng isang investigation kung
gaano katindi ang nangyareng sunog.

 Red flames indicate presence of petroleum products.

 Example ng petroleum products ay gasoline, kerosene etc. ang gasoline ang pinaka karaniwang
ginagamit para mapabilis ang apoy, and ignitable liquids are the most common fire accelerents
and other chemical like propane at natural gas at maaari ding gamitin upang mapaabilis ang
sunog.
 Blue flame indicates use of alcohol as accelerants.
 Hottest gas flame and also indicate of complete combustion and pinapahiwatig na yung gas ay
nasusunog ng Mabuti w/o unburned and wasted gas.
38

Size of fire - isa sa mga factors o sign to be determine sa reason or cause ng fire sa arson which will
immediately be determined by the firt responder on the fire scene. Etong size of fire ay included dito sa
tell tale signs because a knowledgable fireman specifically the first responder can easily notice if the fire
is cause by incendiarism w/c meaams panununog. Sabi dito sa size of fire on the time the firefighter
received the report onto their arrival is very important sa kadahilanang they would easily know the
caused and the progress of the fire before they can arriv and they can easily discover and investigate the
reason where the fire started. Also importante ito para sa kanila na malaman yung progress ng fire at
ang materials na pinangyarihan ng fire at lhat ng possibilities at reason to be investigated for them to
state all the facts about the incident.

39

Direction of travel. - Ito yung to fire na na admitted in the same way. Kahit identical yung apoy
pagpapakita pa rin siya o gagawa ng normal process sa iba't-ibang uri ng mga gusali.
Kailangan lang ikonsidera yung type of construction ng isang gusali yung mga materials at combustibility
Kapag flammable yung mga materyales na nasa loob ng building mas mabilis ang paglakas ng apoy,
halimbawa din kapag dikit-dikit yung mga buildings mas mabilis kumalat yung apoy at mas mahirap din
apulahin lalo na kung nasa iskinita.
Yung mga investigador na may experience malalaman nila kung bakit at paano nag spread yung fire ng
mabilis dahil lamang sa mga materyales na nandun sa building at kung saan nagmula yung sunod.

40
Intensity. - When we say intensity, ito yung kung gaano kainit yung apoy. It means the rate of fire
temperature or how hot the fire is. It is the rate of burning that varies in different conditions.
In simplest understanding it is the strength energy and temperature of fire. At ang kulay ng apoy nito ay
madalas na nagpapahiwatig na may nagpapabilis sa nasusunog na materyal upang itoy mas lumaki or
lumaganap ng mabilis. Kaya kailangan ng isang imbestigador na hanapin kung saan nagsisimula o ano
ang mas nagpapabilis sa apoy upang lumaganap ito. At syempre ito ay para sa higit pang ebidensya.

41

Odor - sabi dito nalalaman kaagad ng isang fireman kung anong cause ng fire through the odor of
gasoline, kerosene alcohol and flammable substances. It is often used by an arsonist as an accrlrrant
because it easily ignites at mapabilis yung pag ignite ng fire. Sabi rin dito most of fire setters are inclined
to used these substances kase mas napapadali yung pag spread ng fire mas malaki yung magiging blaze
and at the same time there is a big tendency to burn up the evidences na maaring maiwan sa isang fire
scene.

42

Condition of content - states that persons who tens to set their house on fire remove object of value
either materially or sentimentally. So the fireman will easily distinguished na may arson na naganap
kapag kunwari ikaw, mismong bahay mo is susunugin mo but bago mo sunugin yung bahay mo is
tinanggal mo muna yung mahahalagang bagay like jewelries, pera ganunbasta yung mga bagay na may
malaking halaga para sayo.

43
Locked doors and windows - Locked doors and obstructed entrance and passageways is minsan nag
lilead sa delay ng mga fireman sa operation nila to extinguish the fire. Yung mga doors and windows na
may sign ng forced entry ay pwedeng mag lead up to burglary which is entry into a building illegally with
intent to commit a crime, especially theft or arson by someone without a key to premises.

44
Other suspicious circumstances. - Interested by-standers or a person who is present at an event or
incident but does not take part or sa mas mababaw na word eyewitness and discovery of some objects
might be a part of a mechanical fire-setting device or yung ginamit na bagay to cause fire among
scattered pieces of waste or remains also known as debris
