Welcome to Churchwell Fire Consultants Inc.

Check Out our Offices

Churchwell Fire Consultants, Inc. is an Ohio-based family owned firm specializing in fire and explosion investigation.  Jim Churchwell, a former police investigator who became a widely-recognized expert in fire investigation, founded Churchwell Fire Consultants Inc. in 1989.  Beginning in a one-room, one-garage building, Jim successfully grew the business and in 2001 welcomed his son, Brian, expanding the investigative services to include both forensic electrical and mechanical engineering services.  Recognizing the needs of our clients, we moved into our current, more centralized, Hudson, OH office location enabling us the ability to provide a state-of-the-art lab and a temperature-controlled, secured warehouse to store and preserve evidence. 

Churchwell Fire Consultants, Inc. brings a high quality investigative approach with an unparalleled degree of customer service, professionalism and expertise to all our assignments.  Over the years, we have built and maintained our strong reputation through our high level of responsiveness and exceptional quality and integrity you have come to know and expect.
