Defining flashover for fire hazard calculations
Abstract
As the use of performance-based methods for evaluating the fire behavior of materials and systems becomes more widespread, objective criteria to judge fire behavior become more important. This paper reviews techniques for predicting the most common of these criteria, the onset of flashover. The experimental basis for working definitions of flashover is reviewed. Comparisons of available calculational procedures ranging from simple correlations to computer-based fire models that can be used to estimate flashover are presented. Although the techniques range in complexity and results, the various predictions give estimates commensurate with the precision of available experimental data.

Examining thermally induced movement of the fatal fire victim
2024, Forensic Science InternationalInvestigating a fatal fire scene comprises analysis not only of the fire’s development to identify the point of fire origin and ignition source, but analysis of a victim’s position and their relationship within the scene. This work presents both qualitative and quantitative results from experimentation investigating the effect of a real fire environment on the human body, and how the position of a victim at the post burn investigation stage may be significantly different to the position at fire ignition. Qualitative observations were undertaken on the burning of 39 compartment and vehicle scenes from ignition through to suppression, each containing a human cadaver. The results of analysis question the validity of previous work based on cremation observations. Quantitative results were produced by recording 13 points on the body on the X, Y and Z axis, both pre and post burn on a smaller dataset of ten compartment burns. Results have enabled a more robust assessment of thermally induced movement of the body within the scene along each axis, evidencing that pugilism is not the universal reaction of the fatal victim to thermal exposure, with extension of the upper limbs far more common than has been previously reported.
Experimental and theoretical investigation of an adjacent wall on the occurrence of flashover
2023, Fire Safety JournalIn urban or informal settlement fires, the influence of an adjacent inert wall/dwelling on the fire development of the burning dwelling is still unknown. Therefore, 41 compartment fire experiments were conducted with a ¼ scale ISO 9705 room, with a calcium silicate board acting as the inert wall, was placed in front of the burning compartment's opening with distances between 50 and 1250 mm. Parameters such as the mass loss rate of fuel, temperatures of gas and walls, heat flux imposed on the floor, and time to flashover were analyzed. From the experiments, it was found that the flashover occurrence times differed significantly with or without the adjacent dwelling, and the time to flashover increased gradually with increasing distance from 50 to 300 mm between the burning compartment and adjacent wall, but decreased with distance from 300 to 600 mm. The heat flux to the floor was calculated and correlated well with measured values, confirming that the observed experimental phenomenon was primarily caused by the interaction between the combustion efficiency of fuel and the different heat losses from hot gas flowing out from the opening depending on the adjacent wall location. Moreover, a modified MQH method and a theoretical model were proposed to predict the gas temperature and time to flashover, respectively.
An explainable machine learning based flashover prediction model using dimension-wise class activation map
2023, Fire Safety JournalThis paper presents the development of an explainable machine learning based flashover prediction model, named xFlashNet. Synthetic temperature data from more than 17 000 fire cases are used for model development. The effect of missing data due to heat detectors to elevated temperature from the fire scene is also considered. xFlashNet utilizes multi-residual convolutional layers to effectively learn the indicative temperature features and dimension-wise class activation map (dCAM) to interpret the model decision. The proposed model is benchmarked against three current-state-of-the-art models. Results shows that the proposed model outperforms the benchmark models and it has an overall accuracy of about 92.9%. Based on dCAM, the model decision is analyzed. Depending on the location of the fire and the heat detector operating conditions, the proposed model shows the discriminative region of the temperature inputs which influence the model to make the decision. In addition, model testing against real fire data is conducted. It is believed that this present work contributes a step forward to bring trustworthy ML systems to fire safety applications and to enhance situational awareness for firefighting safety that can help reduce firefighter injuries and deaths.
Examination of misconceptions surrounding fatal fire victims
2023, Science and JusticeFire deaths are not unusual in forensic investigative practice but due to the destructive nature of fire they are often very difficult to investigate. With the need to identify the deceased and the events surrounding the manner and cause of death, knowledge of thermally induced alteration to the human body is important. Within the fire investigation community, a number of misconceptions have been present for years regarding the protrusion of the tongue as an indicator of life during the fire, and fractured skulls as the result of brains boiling and skulls exploding. This work presents qualitative analysis on the experimental burning of 42 unembalmed human donated cadavers by the San Luis Obispo Strike Team (SLOFIST) on their annual Forensic Fire Death Investigation Course (FFDIC) between 2017 and 2019. Prior to burning, the position of the tongue within the dental arch was confirmed and sharp, blunt, surgical and gunshot trauma to the cranium documented. Temperature was recorded from ignition through to suppression with thermocouples present both within the scene and the body. Post burn analysis on the position of the tongue, observation of cranial fractures and presence of brain tissue were recorded and analysed in conjunction with thermocouple data, fire scene dynamics and body demographics. The results provide a more comprehensive understanding of the thermal environmental factors involved in producing the phenomena that facilitate these misconceptions, identifying that a more thorough understanding of individual fire scenes and their development is essential when interpreting alteration and injury to the body of the fatal fire victim.
Real-time flashover prediction model for multi-compartment building structures using attention based recurrent neural networks
2023, Expert Systems with ApplicationsThis paper presents the development of an attention based bi-directional gated recurrent unit model, P-Flashv2, for the prediction of potential occurrence of flashover in a traditional 111 m2 single story ranch-style family home. Synthetic temperature data for more than 110 000 fire cases with a wide range of fire and vent opening conditions are collected. Temperature limit to heat detectors is applied to mimic the loss of temperature data in real fire scenarios. P-Flashv2 is shown to be able to make predictions with a maximum lead time of 60 s and its performance is benchmarked against eight different model architectures. Results show that P-Flashv2 has an overall accuracy of ∼ 87.7 % and ∼ 89.5% for flashover predictions with a lead time setting of 30 s and 60 s, respectively. Additional model testing is conducted to assess P-Flashv2 prediction capability in real fire scenarios. Evaluating the model again with full-scale experimental data, P-Flashv2 has an overall prediction accuracy of ∼ 82.7 % and ∼ 85.6 % for cases with the lead time of setting 30 s and 60 s, respectively. Results from this study show that the proposed machine learning based model, P-Flashv2, can be used to facilitate data-driven fire fighting and reduce fire fighter deaths and injuries.
Real-time monitoring and prediction method of commercial building fire temperature field based on distributed optical fiber sensor temperature measurement system
2023, Journal of Building EngineeringIn order to accomplish the task of real-time monitoring and prediction of fire temperature in commercial buildings, this study proposes a sensor arrangement method based on sensor and fire field characteristics to better reflect the fire temperature changes of building space, and conducts high temperature sensor measurement experiments based on this method. Then the study carries out fire dynamics simulations to establish a temperature change dataset containing fire and sensor temperature changes. The study establishes several prediction models using different algorithms based on the dataset, and the models built by artificial neutral network (ANN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) respectively have the best performance. The results show that the percentage error between the output temperature of the ANN mapping model and the actual temperature of the fire key plane is 1.94%. The percentage error between the output temperature of the LSTM temperature prediction model and the actual temperature is 1.03%, which satisfies the demand for early warning of the fire temperature hazard. This study also validates the generalization of the two models for fire temperature prediction in different spatial areas, and the method can provide a good solution for real-time monitoring and early warning of fire temperature in commercial buildings.
