An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

Association Rule Mining for Accidental Dwelling Fire Incidence Data Analysis in Greater Manchester, UK

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Association rule mining was used to identify patterns in accidental dwelling fire incidents attended by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service over the period 2013/14 to 2023/24. The association rule mining process identified relationships between cooking fire incidence, distraction, living alone, deprivation, and fire injury.

Experimental Characterization of the Effects of Mineral‐Based Fire‐Retardant Admixtures on the Combustion Properties of Polyethylene Blends

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for flame retardant (FR) polymeric materials has highlighted the need to improve the combustion behaviour of highly flammable polymers such as polyethylene (PE). This study investigates the use of eco‐sustainable mineral FRs as a strategy to reduce heat release and smoke production during combustion, while improving the ...
