Large outdoor fires are an increasing danger to the built environment. Wildfires that spread
into communities, labeled as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are an example of large …

Abstract Structure loss in wildland fires has significantly increased over the past few
decades, affected by increased development in rural areas, changing fuel management …

Abstract Wildland and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fires are an important problem in
many areas of the world and may have major consequences in terms of safety, air quality …

Accessory structures are those man-made structures on the landscape surrounding a
primary structure that are mostly separated from the structure and usually not substantially …

Abstract Purpose of Review The effectiveness of wildfire suppression is difficult to define as
it can be assessed against different objectives and at a range of scales. The influence of …

Ignition of natural fuels by hot metal particles from powerlines, welding and mechanical
processes may initiate wildfires. In this work, a hot steel spherical particle (6–14 mm and 600 …

The NIST Firebrand Generator (NIST Dragon) is an experimental device that can generate a
firebrand shower in a safe and repeatable fashion. BRI maintains one of the only full scale …

A full-scale, proof-of-concept experiment was conducted to investigate firebrand production
from a burning structure. In this experiment, researchers from National Institute of Standards …

Firebrand production from a real-scale structure under well-controlled laboratory conditions
was investigated. The structure was fabricated using wood studs and oriented strand board …

Background The present study investigates firebrand and heat flux exposures to structures
in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The Australian Building Standards AS3959 defines …
