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 …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

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 …

Tens of thousands of structures and hundreds of human lives have been lost in recent fire
events throughout California. Given the potential for these types of wildfires to continue, the …

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 …

Wildland and wildland/urban interface fires are a serious problem in many areas of the
world. It is expected that with global warming the wildfire and wildland/urban interface fire …

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 …

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 …

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 …
