Review of vulnerability indicators for fire risk assessment in cultural heritage
, 2021Indicator-based methods are able to provide a simple and reliable way to assess the level of fire risk of existing constructions. While many of these methods were not developed for cultural heritage assets, those that were often involve indicators ...

Fire risk and severity decline with stand development in Tasmanian giant Eucalyptus forest
Forest Ecology and Management, 2021Forest fire risk, and how it changes over time, has important influences on forest dynamics. Two common models describing how fire risk changes with stand development, known as flammability functions, are (a) the ‘moisture model’, where fire risk ...

Fire fighters work in varied and dangerous environments and face unique health hazards that increase their risk for line-of-duty injury and death. While working with sophisticated equipment within such environments, the fire fighter is exposed to high noise levels, changing thermal conditions, and hazardous breathing atmospheres.

Risk factors for fatal residential fires
Journal of Safety Research, 1992Residential fires are the most important cause of fire-related mortality in the United States. Previous research has concentrated on fatal fires in urban areas; considerably less is known about fatal fires in rural areas.We studied fatal and nonfatal residential fires in predominantly rural areas.

Fire Risk Assessment: Integrating Fire Testing and Fire Codes
1985Fire risk assessment, using experience as a basis, has led to the development of fire test methods and building codes and standards. Fire risk is composed of the multiple elements of potential for harm, probability of occurrence, and probability for exposure.
