I think you mean to preserve the evidence of the scene until the investigator can complete their investigation. For us, if it happened while the vehicle was being operated, we usually put it on a flatbed and get it off the roadway. The investigator will take a look quickly, but it's usually something mechanical and can be investigated (if needed) at a storage yard. If the vehicle was on fire while parked (arson), then the investigator will conduct his investigation in place. We keep a unit on scene until he gets there. If he needs more time and has to leave, he calls a unit back out to keep control of the scene. Usually, there isn't a whole lot of investigation that needs to be done. A couple hours and he's done. We'll run "Caution: Fire Scene" tape around areas as needed.
