What happens after a fire?

When a fatal fire occurs, a thorough investigation is launched by fire services and the police. This aims to determine the cause of the fire, whether it was accidental or deliberate, and if any safety measures could have prevented the tragedy. The findings often lead to recommendations for improved fire safety.
