That's correct Doug. That's directly related to the discussions that Dennis and I have had related to whether a fire pattern is indicative of an origin or whether it may have been caused later in the fire. That's one of the main reasons it's so dangerous for investigators to go to a fire that had burned fully-involved (especially for more than just a few second) and try to identify the origin based primarily on an area of most severe destruction.
