This paper presents experimental research findings for those involved in the early phase of
fire in office buildings. Class A model fires with a reaction area from 5 cm2 to 300 cm2 were …

Background Wildfire suppression is becoming more costly and dangerous as the scale and
severity of impacts from fires increase under climate change. Aims We aim to identify the key …

Forest fires produce many different pollutants, including soot formation and aerosol
emissions. Air pollution from wildfires leads to cardiopulmonary disease and impacts on the …

Fuel and wildfire management decisions related to fuel break construction, maintenance,
and use in fire suppression suffer from limited information on fuel break success rates and …

Land managers around the world are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate that the
actions being used to moderate wildfire risk are effective and cost-efficient. However, little …

This paper reports two experimental fires conducted at field-scale in Corsica, across a
particular mountain shrubland. The orientation of the experimental plots was chosen in such …

In addition to the experimental approach, wildfire modelling has been developed over the
last decades to better understand the behaviour of wildfires and to propose new …

Tree detection and fuel amount and distribution estimation are crucial for the investigation
and risk assessment of wildfires. The demand for risk assessment is increasing due to the …

In this work, a series of laboratory surface fire experiments were performed over a pine
needle fuel bed to investigate the effectiveness of a firebreak and the behaviors of a surface …

Forest fires have a negative impact on the economy in a number of regions, especially in
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. An important link in the fight against fires in WUI …
