Fire Investigation

UL FSRI is conducting a study to examine how ventilation impacts fire damage and the resulting fire patterns in structures representing single family homes. Knowledge of fire dynamics is critical for fire investigators to identify a fire’s area of origin and determine a cause; and fire dynamics are dependent upon understanding the role of ventilation during a fire event.
This video provides an introduction to the types of measurements and experiments that were conducted. Reports and the online training program are being developed.
This project was supported by Award No. 2015-DN-BX-K052, awarded by the National Institute of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Justice.

Its astounding how much we can learn from research like this. Thank you so much for saving lives

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

That's a very cool way to learn how fire and ventilation works!!!!!!

[@boopiedistura]

thank you for your efforts guys. we'll wait for the results. thanks a lot.

[@brokentombot]

I'm happy for the smart effort to help fire logic and rescue logic.

In January 95 I lost everything in apt fire. I got there as the fire company in a podunk town in Minnesota were finishing up. They asked me if I left anything on or plugged in I panicked and said an electric blanket. My dad had a retired fire chief from a city look at it he said right away it was arson and it started at my bedroom doorway that led to the hallway and that someone light something and stuck it under the door. To this day 26 years later its still being tentatively blamed on the electric blanket. Ps I recalled later that I made sure to unplug the blanket because I had a bad feeling can't explain why

[@pizza-feverdream]

did you also comment this on a buzzfeed news video about arson investigation?? i just came from there..

[@BatsRecap]

Do you have software for fire scene reconstruction?

[@nicholashelms2395]

If a place is set on fire with gasoline can you smell it or do you just see different patterns.

[@vinodi7363]

thanks

[@iZucken]

Explanation sound so well paced almost like a rap song...

[@fortubay4181]

Can the fire safety officer investigate the cause of the fire even if fire department did not extinguish the fire in the building that was burning

[@gi-go8575]

I always wanted to burn things for some reason. And i was very curious how could snyone figure something out when the whole scene is destroyed

[@majorgamers2893]

Cool

[@mykulpierce]

Notre Dame is on fire right now. Already being ruled an accident. How would they make that assessment mid fire?

[@Arlyneya]

The new here is reporting that the fire was started on the roof. And thy are sayin that it is linked to the construction that has been taking place but the exact cause like an electrical accident etc. Has yet to be determined.

[@KilosFlo]

Not the lays!😭

[@jeremybenson5782]

This seems like a waste of wood. But at the same time pretty crucial in cases of wrongful death.

[@patricknedz]

It may be a waste of materials, but it’s important for fire fighters to practice learning about how fire works in structures.
