Uncontrolled wildfires pose a severe threat to federally protected areas, wildlife, and any nearby buildings. Despite the brave work done by our first responders, they cannot always reach the areas affected. Wind conditions can quickly engulf areas with fire, sometimes the terrain is unsuitable to navigate, and these are just some of the issues firefighters face while trying to contain fires. H...

The material and structural thermal deformation characteristics of a steel stiffened panel under various fire-extinguishing methods were investigated experimentally. Propane gas was used to generate jet fires for panels widely as offshore installation structures. the initial imperfection (initial deflection residual stress) occurring during fabrication measured analyzed before after fire experi...

The article analyzes the issues of legal regulation fire safety in forests. main problems and indicators record number forest fires Russia are identified: imperfection regulatory forests; inconsistent system state management complex; lack an orderly model structure specialized institutions forests extinguishing at level Russian subjects, taking into account peculiarities regions; others. also r...

To thoroughly study the extinguishing effect of a high-pressure water mist fire system when transformer occurs, 3D experimental model is established in this work by employing Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) software. More specifically, setting different parameters, process with presence both diverse ambient temperatures and sprinkler laying conditions simulated. In addition, employed implementati...
