Fire Safety Research - Institute Research Studies

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 (10:30am - 12:00pm) (Ballroom 1)

The Fire Safety Research Institute has developed a research program to support the practice of fire investigation by improving the foundational science of post-fire analysis.  This presentation will provide an overview of research results from the program as well as a look at ongoing research efforts.  Featured results will include the recently released materials and products database and full-scale data repositories which are publicly available for use at no cost.  Additionally, results from the post-fire exposure risks to fire investigators study, E-scooter experiments, and an example of an application of the materials and products database in a near miss incident will be shared.  

​

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Learn how to access and utilize the FSRI Materials and Products Database 

  2. Learn how to access and utilize the FSRI Fire Investigation Portal 

  3. Understand the impact of ventilation limited fires on fire growth, damage, and post fire hazards.
