Fire, Volume 8, Issue 12

Wildfires are a major source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particulate matter (PM), and atmospheric pollutants, exerting widespread impacts on air quality, human health, and global climate. To address knowledge gaps, this study conducts a literature re...

Car parks are a vital component of infrastructure in modern cities. However, fire in car park buildings may lead to significant structural damage and casualties, highlighting the urgent need for fast forecasting methods. Traditional simulation method...

Prescribed fire is a critical land management practice in the Great Plains of North America, helping to maintain native rangelands and reduce wildfire risk. Barriers to prescribed fire practice remain due to concerns on potential fire escape and fire...

This research employs an integrated experimental and numerical simulation approach to investigate how varying angles of continuous elbows in a “Z”-shaped pipeline affect the deflagration behavior of hydrogen-propane-air mixtures. Findings...

Fire is a key driver of ecosystem dynamics under global change, and understanding its complex relationship with the climate system is crucial for regional wildfire risk management and the development of ecological adaptation strategies. The western U...

Forest fires continue to pose a significant threat to public and personal safety. Detecting smoke in its early stages or when it is distant from the camera is challenging because it appears in only a small region of the captured images. This paper pr...

Type IV composite overwrapped pressure vessels—characterized by a polymer liner fully wrapped in fiber-reinforced polymer—are emerging as lightweight, corrosion-proof alternatives to traditional metal cylinders in fire safety applications...

The safe operation of hydrogen transmission pipeline stations is paramount for the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy. This study addresses the significant hazard of hydrogen leakage in high-pressure pipeline stations by employing numerical simul...

Addressing the environmental challenges posed by traditional foam extinguishing agents containing persistent pollutants, the development of eco-friendly alternatives has become imperative. This study investigates the effect of xanthan gum (XG) on the...

To mitigate the limitations of low measurement accuracy and substantial environmental interference in UAV-based TIR imaging for coal fire monitoring, this study presents an integrated temperature correction approach, termed NRBO-XGBoost. The proposed...
