Heat Release Rate Characterization of NFPA 1403 Compliant Training Fuels

FSRI

Heat Release Rate Characterization of NFPA 1403 Compliant Training Fuels, published in Fire Technology, is intended to provide data to better inform fire instructors who design live fire training fuel packages, as well as to look at how fuel weight, type, and orientation affect heat release behavior of training fuel packages. Additionally, the paper looks at the HRR of common furnishings, in an effort to further examine the difference between fuels that firefighters encounter on the training ground versus the fireground.
