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 …

Wildfires are uncontrolled combustion events occurring in the natural environment (forest,
grassland, or peatland). The frequency and size of these fires are expected to increase …

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 …

Southern Europe is recurrently being hit by forest fires affecting wildland–urban interface
(WUI) areas which, particularly in the last decade, have resulted in tremendous …

Ember/firebrand spotting is an important mechanism by which wildland fires can rapidly
spread. This process occurs when firebrands from a fire upwind land on a fuel downwind …

Wildland fires and wildland urban-interface (WUI) fires have become a significant problem in
recent years. The mechanisms of home ignition in WUI fires are direct flame contact, thermal …

Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to infrastructure; their effects cause a particularly
important threat to people living within the wildland-urban-interface. Short-range firebrands …

The hazards associated with firebrands have been well documented. However, there exist
few studies that allow for the hazard from a given fire to be quantified. To develop predictive …

Wood and composite panel materials represent a substantial part of the fuel in many
building fires. The ability of materials to ignite when heated at elevated temperatures …

The ignitability of structural components due to ember attack is a common cause of the
structural fires in wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities. To fire-harden structures in …
