Nancy Drew 25: Alibi in Ashes Hints
What is an accelerant?
1 of 3: As you can read in the book titled "On The Case" on top of the locked cabinet in Nancy's room --
2 of 3: -- an accelerant is a chemical, usually a liquid, that makes a fire burner faster and hotter. It includes things like gasoline, propane, alcohol, kerosene -- that is, anything that burns like crazy, anything an arsonist might use to make a building go up fast and burn hot.
3 of 3: Fortunately for the rest of us, all those things leave behind a chemical residue that can be traced with the right equipment, even after a fierce fire seems to have destroyed everything.
