The Ignitable Liquids Reference Collection (ILRC) and Substrate databases contain separate compilations of data from reference materials that is intended for use by forensic analysts to conduct fire debris analysis. The ILRC, Substrate, and Fire Debris databases were redesigned and made available on a single website to enhance usability in casework and research. This project also investigated the construction of digital fire debris data by mixing ignitable liquid and substrate(s) digital data. Total ion chromatograms and total ion spectra of in silico fire debris were created from data in the Ignitable Liquids Reference Collection and Substrate databases. In silico mixing provides the ability to develop large data sets for machine learning.
