Detect the presence of certain ignitable liquids

Ignitable Liquid Detection Canines, or IGL Canines, are specifically trained to detect the presence of certain ignitable liquids, such as gasoline or diesel fuel, which may be indicative of arson or other illegal activities associated with fire settings. These canines have an acute sense of smell that enables them to identify these substances in various environments, including burned areas and potential crime scenes. This ability not only helps investigators gather evidence to support fire investigations but also enhances the overall efficiency in identifying the presence of accelerants that may have contributed to a fire. This specialized training is focused solely on detecting ignitable liquids, making it crucial for fire investigators in determining the cause and origin of fires.
