A Bayesian Analysis of Accidental Dwelling Fire Incidence, Injury, and Fatality in the Greater Manchester Area

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between accidental dwelling fire incidence and fire injury and fatality was examined using a Bayesian model to estimate the probability of a fire injury or fatality resulting from an accidental dwelling fire incidence under different circumstances of fire incidence (type of accidental dwelling fire, dwelling occupancy type ...

HRR–Time Behaviour of Untreated Wood Under SBI Conditions: Implications for the Interpretation of FIGRA and THR600

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reaction‐to‐fire classification of wood‐based materials in Europe relies on SBI‐derived parameters such as FIGRA and THR600. While these parameters provide a robust and practical basis for classification, their relationship to the underlying HRR–time development remains difficult to interpret.

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...
