S.C.S stands for Stove Control Stabilization
SFA has pioneered a groundbreaking process to secure and stabilize stove controls, addressing a significant issue that previously hindered forensic investigations. Prior to this innovation, stove controls —particularly the infinity switches— were highly susceptible to collapse from even the slightest movement or vibration, especially during fire scene examinations. This vulnerability often resulted in the destruction of crucial evidence, making it incredibly difficult to preserve and analyze stove controls both at the scene and in the lab. Even small fires on the stove could cause irreparable damage to the controls, rendering them nearly impossible to examine. Developed and rigorously tested in 2024, SFA's new technique reinforces the stove control housing, effectively preventing it from collapsing due to the slightest movement or vibration. This stabilization process not only protects the integrity of the controls but also enables them to be safely moved and examined in ways that were previously impossible. By allowing forensic investigators to handle stove controls without fear of damaging the evidence, this innovation greatly improves the chances of collecting accurate and reliable data from fire scenes, ultimately leading to more effective investigations.
