Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In fire and arson cases evidences like volatile fuel in the sediment debris can be collected. The debris should be collected in an air-tight container like tin or paint box and bottles so as to prevent the evaporation of the fuel. The type of fuel used for setting up the fire is an important evidence.

Plastic bags should not be used because the plastic can react with the fuel components and may react with the fuel components in debris and the evidence will become futile.
