This study analyzes forestfire cases caused by contact between overhead power lines and vegetation from a forensic science perspective. Fire cases in which such contact was determined to contribute to ignition were examined based on on-site investigation results, focusing on damage patterns of power lines, vegetation charring, and electrical traces. The cases were classified into three contact types: (1) long-term vegetation growth causing gradual insulation degradation, (2) tree fall due to strong winds leading to power line breakage, and (3) repetitive wind-induced contact resulting in localized insulation wear. The results show that each contact type exhibits distinct ignition mechanisms and damage characteristics, including short circuits, electrical heating, grounding, and ember generation. These findings demonstrate that fires involving overhead power lines and vegetation should be interpreted through an integrated analysis of power line damage, vegetation condition, and environmental factors. This study provides practical forensic criteria for determining fire causes related to power facilities and vegetation and offers implications for forestfire prevention and fire investigation practices.
