Civil and environmental engineering researchers conducted unique live fire experiments to study the kinematics of firebrands, burning embers cast off from wildfires that cause spot fires leading to ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Two upcoming experiments by the Sandia National Laboratories could cause a plume of black smoke to be visible in Albuquerque. The two controlled fire experiments will take ...

Understanding how fire spreads in a microgravity environment is critical to the safety of astronauts who live and work in space. And while NASA has conducted studies aboard the space shuttle and ...

Since 2000, wildfires have destroyed an average of seven million acres each year. And with rising global temperatures from climate change, the threat is growing exponentially. Researchers at labs and ...

The distribution of wildfires on Earth will change as climate, land-use, and vegetation change. We use global empirical models of burnt area, fire size and fire intensity to explore future wildfire ...

The Fairborn Fire Department is partnering with the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute to conduct a series of live-fire experiments. The experiments begin Friday and will last one week in the ...
