The NIST Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Case Study Approach and Outlook

by Eric Link

About this book

What can be learned after a fire moves through a community? Eric Link explains the approach used by NIST to investigate wildland–urban interface fires and turn field observations into case studies.

The report reviews earlier investigations, then describes choices about deployment, evidence collection, analysis, staffing, training and equipment. Timelines and work breakdowns connect the different stages of a study. The complete original publication sets out a practical framework for documenting fire progression, community response and the effects on structures.
