Portugal has very favourable conditions for the occurrence of forest fires, most of which are caused by humans. However, in certain meteorological conditions fires may also be started naturally, ignited by dry thunderstorms.The proportions and consequences of the fires of June 1017 fuelled a heated controversy regarding the theories proposed as to their cause, and criminal action was often cited as the most plausible explanation. Thus, so that offenders could be punished, it was imperative to investigate the true causes. This task had to be carried out by properly accredited experts in investigating this type of crime, so that the results would be conclusive.Thus, by applying an appropriate methodology whose general purpose is to delimit the area where the forest fire started and, in this small space, to determine the ignition medium used (which will indicate the start point) or, in the absence of the latter, to search for evidence of the ignition/start point, conclusions be drawn about the causes of the fires. Examples of applying this method to some of the great fires of June 2017 are given and the results obtained regarding the cause of each one are indicated.
