Enhanced Local Service for Nova Scotia
CEP Forensic is pleased to welcome Bentley Rice to our team, further reinforcing our commitment to clients across the Maritimes. Based in Nova Scotia, Bentley will perform fire and explosion investigations, bringing decades of experience to local claims.

With nearly 28 years in public service for the Province of Nova Scotia, Bentley has worked across multiple government departments. More recently, he spent 14 years with the Office of the Fire Marshal, where he conducted fire investigations, performed inspections, and led public education and fire prevention initiatives. In addition, he has been an adjunct fire service instructor for over 25 years, specializing in fire investigation, strategy and tactics, NFPA 921 (Fire and Explosion Investigations), NFPA 472 (Hazardous Materials), and occupational health and safety.
Bentley’s wealth of expertise strengthens CEP Forensic’s ability to deliver prompt, high-quality services on fire and explosion claims. His presence, alongside Shane Kasprick, who conducts structural investigation files, ensures that our Nova Scotia clients will receive a broader spectrum of comprehensive forensic analysis.
