When the peace of an ordinary Sunday in Leicester was shattered by the deafening sound of an explosion, seasoned fire investigator Andy Quine was catapulted into a case that would test every fiber of his professional acumen. 

In a candid conversation, Andy walks the listener through the devastating Hinckley Road incident and the meticulous process of unraveling the truth. 

Switching from a public servant's uniform to the suit of a private sector expert can be as complex as the fires he once extinguished. Andy reflects on his own transition to GBB, part of the Davies Group, scrutinizing the nuances that lie between public service and corporate responsibility. Our dialogue illuminates the trend of public sector fire investigators pursuing further education, like the UCLan program, to stoke the flames of their expertise in this niche but critical field.

Featuring a tapestry of stories that blend science with the human touch, this episode takes you through the persistence of petrol on washed clothing as uncovered by canine assets and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the communal ripple effect of the Hinckley Road explosion. 

We honor the dedication required in fire investigation, the collaborative spirit between public and private entities, and the ceaseless pursuit of accuracy for the sake of those affected by such tragedies.
