Advancing Fire Safety Science to Protect People and Property
Overview
Our Commitment
Guided by a global advisory board comprised of fire service personnel, UL FSRI investigates residential, commercial and industrial fires through full-scale testing, field-testing and modeling to replicate actual fire ground conditions faced by firefighters. Research results are vetted through academic and peer review, published in journals and as digital content and transformed into e-learning and face-to-face training courses that have reached hundreds of thousands of firefighters globally. UL FSRI further convenes fire service and other stakeholders with varied health and fire safety interests to raise awareness of issues and disseminate research findings on topics such as usage of specific firefighting tactics.
