FROM SCENE TO DOCUMENTATION
IN THREE STEPS

DocuFire is built around how investigators actually work — not how software engineers think they work.

01
🔥

Create Your Case

Open DocuFire, tap New Case, and select Structure, Vehicle, or Vessel. Enter the address and basic case info. You're ready to document in under 60 seconds.

02
📋

Document at the Scene

Work through each section at your own pace. Tap selections, type notes, dictate with your voice, photograph evidence, annotate diagrams with Apple Pencil, and collect signatures — all in one place.

03
📄

Export Your Field Record

Tap Export, choose your sections, and generate a formatted PDF field record. Share it to email, cloud storage, or print. Your organized documentation becomes the foundation for writing your investigative report.

EVERY FEATURE
YOU ACTUALLY NEED

Built by a working CFI. Not a software team guessing what investigators need.

Electrical Panel Documentation
Interactive breaker grid with up to 42 slots. Tap to cycle On/Off/Tripped/Unknown. Double-pole linking. Tripped breakers highlight red automatically.
🌤
Auto Weather Pull
Enter the loss address and date. DocuFire pulls historical weather conditions automatically — temperature, wind, precipitation, and more.
✍️
Apple Pencil Signatures
Joint scene exam sign-in sheets with live Apple Pencil signature capture. Business card camera built in. Exports as a formatted PDF sign-in sheet.
🔗
Chain of Custody
Full evidence log with container type, lab submission tracking, transfer history, storage conditions, and signature blocks for released/received by.
🤖
AI Analysis
Run an AI analysis on your completed case. Get cause determination review, inconsistency flags, suggested interview questions, and NFPA 921 references.
📄
Selective PDF Export
Choose exactly which sections go into each PDF. Send just the sign-in sheet to the adjuster. Send the full report to the attorney. One tap.
✏️
Vehicle & Vessel Diagram Annotation
Built-in reference diagrams for vehicles and vessels. Annotate directly with Apple Pencil to mark area of origin, fire spread, and damage zones. Diagrams export full-resolution into the PDF report.
🚗
Vehicle & Vessel Investigation
Full documentation support for vehicle and vessel fires. Annotate built-in vehicle and vessel reference diagrams with Apple Pencil — mark area of origin, fire spread, and damage zones. Live NHTSA recall lookup by VIN and USCG recall database access by HIN pulled directly from federal databases, no account required.
🎙️
Voice Notes
Every section has a built-in microphone. Dictate observations hands-free while you work the scene. No stopping to type — just talk and keep moving.
☁️
Automatic iCloud Sync
Case data syncs automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Start on your iPad at the scene, review on your Mac at the office. No manual export or transfer required.
👥
Multiple Investigator Profiles
Create separate profiles for each investigator on your team. Each profile stores credentials, contact info, and letterhead settings — so every report is attributed correctly without reconfiguring the app.
📚
Built-In Field Reference
NFPA 921 burn pattern guides, ignition source references, fuel load classifications, and more — built directly into the app. No internet required. Everything you need is one tap away while you're on scene.
"BUILT BY AN INVESTIGATOR WHO GOT TIRED OF CLIPBOARDS — AND MAKING SURE NOTHING GOT MISSED."

DocuFire started as a frustration. There are no dedicated native iPad or Mac apps for fire investigation documentation. The one or two tools that exist are web-based — not built for the field, not built for gloves, not built for how investigations actually happen.

DocuFire is built by a CFI, for fire investigators at every level — CFIs, CFEIs, fire marshals, and anyone who documents origin and cause for a living. Every field, every workflow, and every tap target is designed around real investigative work.

Structure, vehicle, and vessel investigation documentation is fully supported. Android and PC support on the roadmap.
