Vehicle fires in parking structures developing into large conflagrations are rare but can result
in severe economic losses. It is important to understand the hazard posed by modern …

Fires in road vehicles are common, but a large part is associated with crashes. Of all vehicle
fires registered in the USA between 2013 and 2017, 16% have occurred in a parking area …

When designing scenarios for fire safety in residential buildings, one should consider the
natural variability of heat release rate of a single item that can possibly influence fire spread …

Due to their reduced emissions and environmental benefits, electric vehicles (EVs) have
grown in popularity over the past few years. However, EV fires can be a serious threat to …
