Fire, Volume 6, Issue 9

Coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) is a serious threat to the safe mining of coal resources, and the selection of suitable gas indicators to predict the CSC state is crucial for the prevention and control of coal mine fires. In this paper, the tempera...

Wildfires cause profound challenges for animals to overcome due to their reliance on vegetation. This study addresses the impact of three levels of forest burn severity (unburned, low, and high burn severity) on the foraging behavior of small mammals...

Prescribed fire is a management tool that is frequently used to foster biodiversity. Simultaneously, insects that provide essential ecosystem services are globally declining. Within the pyroentomology literature, there are mixed reports of positive a...

This study estimates the radiative forcing by biomass burning and dust aerosols over the Indian subcontinent, with emphasis on the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) during the period from January 2021 to April 2021, based on multiple satellite and reanalysi...

A sub-surface forest fire is a type of smoldering combustion with a slower spread rate, longer combustion time, and lower combustion temperature compared with flame combustion. Sub-surface fires are usually accompanied by surface fires, and the surfa...

To enhance the inerting effect of nitrogen on large longwall goaf, a novel goaf-inerting method of using a full cross-section nitrogen curtain for a U-shaped ventilation working face is developed. The working principle of the full cross-section nitro...

Photoelectric smoke detectors (SDs) often emit false alarms in studio-type apartments, where fire prevention is crucial. This study investigates the response characteristics of conventional and analog smoke detection factors to reduce false positives...

The depletion of fossil-based fuels, fluctuating fuel market, and environmental deterioration demand an aggressive approach towards the advancement of renewable energy technologies. By the time reliable technology for a clean and abundant energy supp...

Weather conditions at the time of wildfire front arrival strongly influence fire behavior and effects, yet few methods exist for estimating weather conditions more spatio-temporally resolved than coarse-grain (e.g., 4 km) daily averages. When a fire...

This research aimed to the characteristics and influence factor of methane and coal dust gas/solid two-phase mixture explosions by experiment. Through comparative analysis of flame propagation characteristics, pressure, flame temperature and products...
