Data Resources occupies an 11000 sq. ft. building.  This building offers plenty of laboratory, office, and storage space.   Fire  debris  evidence  is

securely stored for up to 5 years in a climate controlled  environment.  Once sample preparation steps are complete, each  sample in the order is re-sealed in the original collection container that it was received, re-packed  into a container    suitable

for long term storage, and clearly marked with the sample sets' order identification.    The container is marked with a disposal date 5 years hence so that nothing is discarded prematurely.
