1. Introduction

Understanding the topic of fire risk assessment is essential in the practice of fire protection engineering. As part of fire protection engineering, risk assessment can be used as a comprehensive approach that integrates the fire safety factors that are generally used to evaluate potential strategies for an application. The aim of conducting a fire risk assessment is to gain insight into and characterize fire-related risks to better inform the wide range of decisions that should be made concerning a building, facility, or process as part of the design, construction, or operation [1]. As a result, implementing a fire risk assessment can lead to a safer, more efficient, and cost-effective design. Moreover, risk assessment can also be an essential tool used by fire engineers when implementing a performance-based strategy as it addresses explicitly unique aspects or uses. When used as part of a performance-based design, it can also provide a basis for developing and selecting alternative fire engineering options based on the project’s needs (e.g., if the code-prescribed solution does not meet the stakeholders’ needs) [2].
