A view from NIST's Burn Observation Bubble (BOB) of a burning structure during an experiment, one minute before flashover. (NIST) In firefighting, the worst flames are the ones you don’t see coming.

NIST firefighters douse flames bursting from a building as a flashover occurs during an experiment. (NIST photo) Firefighting is a race against time. Exactly how much time? For firefighters, that part ...

That's where P-Flash – the Prediction Model for Flashover – is intended to come in. Designed by scientists at the US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it utilizes machine ...

These burns conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology show how quickly a flashover occurs. The mission of Firehouse is to educate and inspire firefighters so that they can ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Hong Kong Polytechnic University and other institutions have created a Flashover Prediction Neural Network (FlashNet) model to ...

In firefighting, the worst flames are the ones you don’t see coming. Amid the chaos of a burning building, it is difficult to notice the signs of impending flashover — a deadly fire phenomenon wherein ...

While various findings from new fire science research have taken over as the hot topics at conferences, in articles, and shared through social media, it has exposed a few problems that are being seen ...

Firefighting is a race against time. Exactly how much time? For firefighters, that part is often unclear. Building fires can turn from bad to deadly in an instant, and the warning signs are frequently ...
