Fire Investigators Clause Samples
The 'Fire Investigators' clause designates the parties responsible for investigating the cause and origin of any fire that occurs on the premises. Typically, this clause outlines whether the landlord, tenant, or an independent third party will conduct the investigation, and may specify procedures for cooperation, access to the site, and sharing of findings. By clearly assigning investigative duties and protocols, the clause helps ensure a prompt and thorough determination of liability and facilitates the resolution of insurance claims or disputes related to fire incidents.
