UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (FSRI) announces the release of “Residential Attic and Exterior Fire Hazards” – an online course that serves as a culmination of the small scale, full-scale, and field experiments performed by UL as part of a research study funded by the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. The purpose of this study is to increase firefighter safety and effectiveness by providing the fire service with scientific knowledge on thedynamicsof attic and exterior fires and the influence of coordinated fire mitigation tactics from full-scale fire testing in realistic residential structures.

The interactivetrainingtakes learners through all of the details that went into the experiments, experiment results, and tactical considerations derived from the results. Experiments included 28 wall tests, 3 wall and eave tests, 4 full scale attic tests, and 3 field experiments. Field experiments were conducted in three acquired structures located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fires in these 1 ½ and 2 ½ story residential houses provided a real world application of theories and tactics.

“This training program brings science to the streets by providing a dozen tactical considerations to the fire service,” said UL FSRI Director Steve Kerber. “Through the use of video, data, and 3D drawings of the structures, firefighters are given information that directly relates to the fireground. For the scientifically inclined, there are also links to the detailed report as well as the data graphs and full experiment video.”
消防技术小组提出的战术考虑因素并得到视频和互动功能的支持包括：在外墙中增加塑料的使用将改变您到达的情况；如果大火在外面开始，请从外面开始战斗。学会预测外部火将如何迁移到内部；阁楼大火通常是通风限制的火灾；接近时间或限制垂直通风，直到水在阁楼中为止；塑料山脊通风口会影响尺寸和火力动态；用屋檐攻击润湿护套会减慢阁楼火的生长；阁楼结构会影响软管溪流的渗透；考虑向上流动而不是用主流流下水；膝盖壁火动力学； apply water on a knee wall fire at the source and toward the direction of spread before committing to the attic; and Interior operations on knee wall fires.
