Tolley's "Handbook of Disaster and Emergency Management:- Principles and Practice" covers this in quite some depth and part of the document can be found on Google.
It is a specialist area post fire investigation, but factors that need to be taken into account include fire loading, location of material, type of material, ventilation.
The area in and around the fire may give clues to how the fire started and spread. For example whether plaster is on or off the wall is a good indicator to the ferocity of the fire, however the plaster may have been knocked off the walls by fire-fighting jets.
One of the key points re post fire indicators is the questioning of persons who were in and around the area before the start of the fire and at its early stages. For example in the Windsor Castle fire, this questioning led to the identified cause of the fire.
All the very best to you in your studies.

All a post fire indicator is, is a clue to how the fire started and spread.
So you may consider evidence such as, e.g. forced entry to the building, evidence of an accelerant(white spirit), positioning of furniture, burn pattern ect...
You can also inspect service inspection manuals, but it isn't much more complicated than that.
Hope this helps.

Post fire indicator...
1. Upon driving along your road on the way home from work, you observe a wacking big red truck with the words 'Fire and Rescue' on the side.
2. A smouldering ruin behind the said big red truck.
3. Lots of hunky chaps with yellow helmets on, hanging around.
4. Terrified cat in the garden.
5. You find your house insurance expired last week
