The interaction between ventilation and fire development in diagonal pipe networks makes the study of temperature characteristics extremely complex. The thermodynamic effect caused by high temperature will change the original ventilation state, cause...

Among the fire reports caused by seasonal devices registered with the Korea Fire Information Center in 2021, fires caused by heating cables accounted for the largest portion with 350 cases. As a result of analyzing the heating cable fires from 2015 t...

Control of forest fire ignition sources is the top priority in fire management practices. China has gained great success in reducing forest fires in recent years, and the relevant safety measures taken during this process are worthy of investigation...

Sauna is a common fixture in many facilities; a specific fire-protection system is typically designed and installed for this application, as short circuits or direct contact with incandescent materials may result in a fire. Water mist has been recent...

Fire authorities have started widely using operational fire simulations for effective wildfire management. The aggregation of the simulation outputs on a massive scale creates an opportunity to apply the evolving data-driven approach to closely estim...

Fire accident is one of the significant threats to the urban utility tunnel (UUT) during operation, and the emergency response is challenging due to the compact tunnel structure and potential hazard sources involved. Traditional fire detection techni...

In wildfire areas, earth observation data is used for the development of fire-severity maps or vegetation recovery to select post-fire measures for erosion control and revegetation. Appropriate vegetation indices for post-fire monitoring vary with ve...

Nowadays, the real structures (considered as prototypes) subjected to fire are analysed by means of the behaviours of some reduced scale structures (defined as models). These prototype–model correlations are governed by the so-called dimensiona...

Grasslands are one of the vegetation types most widely affected by wildfires in southern Brazil. It is a fire-dependent ecosystem and it is necessary to know the hourly fuel moisture variation for its management. The objective of this work is to fit...

The combined effects of percent slope and fire intensity of a wind driven line fire on an idealized building has been numerically investigated in this paper. The simulations were done using the large eddy simulation (LES) solver of an open source CFD...
