I am excited to share our latest publication on wildfire protection, a paper led by @DossiSimona in the journal Fire and Materials. "Exploratory Simulations on the Effectiveness of Sand Protection Strategies Against Firebrand Accumulation in Wildfires" We investigated how infrastructure protection designed against sand accumulation can be adapted to fight firebrands during wildfires. Using computer simulations, we evaluated the performance of trench and wall barriers in shielding structures from firebrands under varying wind conditions. Findings suggest these strategies can significantly reduce firebrand exposure, translating innovation from another field to enhance wildfire safety. Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1002/fam.3286

Science helps us understand wildfires. That is why the study led by #PyroLife researchers on the damage experienced by buildings in WUIs affected by the 2013 – 2017 California wildfires & 2017 Pedrógão Grande Fire Complex supports this news article 👇 go.nature.com/4gZIIyk

Why fires spread quickly in modern cities — and how to slow them down

Nature - Research also suggests how to make homes more resilient in the aftermath of California’s deadly blazes.

As part of the EU Pyrolife project, Denis Hellebuyck from EUC is visiting us. I know Denis from his time at the University of Edinburgh where I had the joy to teach him fire dynamics. He is a serial entrepreneur interested in wildfire protection.
