Robert E. Chapman
This study focuses upon the use of the Fire Safety Evaluation System developed by the Center for Fire Research at the National Bureau of Standards for determining equivalence to the Life Safety Code for health care facilities. The Life Safety Code, a

Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Smoke Yields of Non-Methane Organic Gases from Combustion of Small-Scale Residential Building Surrogates

October 9, 2025
Author(s)
Michael Link, Nathan Lima, Aika Davis, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Rodney Bryant, Thomas Cleary, Dustin Poppendieck
At the wildland-urban interface (WUI) structural fires can generate non-methane organic gases (NMOGs) from burning urban fuels like structural lumber, plastics, and carpet. These NMOGs can contaminate nearby homes and affect indoor air quality. NMOGs have

Ignition of Mulch by Firebrands in Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) Fires

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Samuel Manzello, John R. Shields, Thomas Cleary, Jiann C. Yang
Firebrands or embers are produced as trees and structures burn in wildland/urban interface (WUI) fires. Hot firebrands ultimately come to rest and may ignite fuels far removed from the fire, resulting in fire spread. It is believed that firebrand showers
