After being used just once, a new combine harvester was found burning in the early morning. IGNISOC's investigation uncovered a poorly connected battery switch, installed during dealership servicing, that led to a fire through resistance heating. This case illustrates the risks of negligent service in agricultural machinery—and how detailed fire scene analysis can support informed insurance decisions.
Our investigation team was called to a rural commercial lot where three newer vehicles, an older work vehicle, and trailers had been affected by fire.

Our scientific analysis provided the insurance carrier with clear, actionable data that supported their decision-making process.
