Hi all,
Came accross this insulation today in the attic of this house. It looks like it was in a fire at one time?? Nothing else looked bad i.e. no burned trusses etc. Would you put in the report that there was possibly a small fire at one time??

I do not see anything there that would indicate a Fire.
It does look like the roof has been replaced.
Looks like old dirty insulation after a roof replacement. I see no fire evidence either.
Guess I was seeing this wrong! I love this message board. Thank you guys for answering.
Looks like debris from roof replacement and possibly some white mold in that first pic on that 2x on the right.
I agree that the visual evidence does seem to proclude a determination of a fire, but even if there was evidence of a past fire, as long as it was properly handled, it’s really no big deal. Certain municipalities will allow a percentage of the framing to be damaged, and yet not be replaced, in 2 jurisdictions I work with, as long as 5% of the framed system or less is damaged, you just spray it with a sealant and move on.
As a Firefighter & Home Inspector I see no fire damage.
