UL FSRI has released a NEW Fire Attack Full-Scale Online Course The decision of where to apply water may be one of the most important initial decisions during a structure fire. Whether your crew chooses to apply water as part of an interior attack or transitional attack, it is important to know the how the hose stream will impact the fire environment ahead. When you are behind the nozzle, visibility can be limited and understanding this impact can be difficult. Access the course here: http://s.u

The risks firefighters face are constantly changing on both the fireground and in the training scenarios.

Since our technical panel first met last fall, our Fire Dynamics and Firefighting Tactics in Multi-Story Residential Structures project has overcome a significant setback and evolved the research scope to answer more relevant questions. In the early fall, we completed construction of the rowhome and townhouse structures and conducted our first experiments. These were gas burner experiments to characterize how heat moves through the structure. The resulting data strengthen our fire models and all

Over the last two weeks, the FSRI team has been conducting experiments inside the concrete burn building at the Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute - North East Regional Training Center for our "Training Fire Exposures from the Source: Developing a Risk Benefit Framework" study. During this series of multi-compartment fuel experiments, we have been studying the impact of fuel choice, ventilation configuration, structure construction, and suppression on thermal conditions and exposures within the fi

🔥For CRR Week 2026, the focus is on Emergency Response—and how fire departments reduce risk and save lives long before crews arrive. In today’s fire environment, the public often has three minutes or less to escape. Those earliest moments—often occurring before 911 is called—are when preparedness, education, and clear decision-making matter most. Helping the public understand what to do during that “zero impact period” strengthens emergency response by reducing risk and improving outcomes when
