Large increase in extreme fire weather synchronicity over Europe by Miguel Ángel Torres-Vázquez, Francesca Di Giuseppe, Alberto Moreno-Torreira, Andrina Gincheva, Sonia Jerez, Marco Turco

“…Synchronous extreme fire weather can significantly increase the probability of fire ignition and spread, posing compounding threats to fire management efforts and potentially overwhelming firefighting capabilities. While substantial evidence indicates that weather conditions conducive to wildfires will likely become more frequent with higher levels of global warming, changes in extreme fire weather synchronicity remain understudied. …”

Fire Detection Design Based on Gas Leakage Accompanied by fire Location Point Using ESP32 Based on IoT by Nanda Wibowo, Hilman Zarory, Dian Mursyitah, Aulia Ullah

“…Type B fires are fires that occur due to the burning of fuel in the form of gas, this type of fire occurs quite often where in DKI Jakarta this type of fire occurs in up to 180 cases and one of the causes of this fire is due to LPG gas leaks then at this time the fire extinguisher fire only has 1 method to find the location of the fire, therefore in this research a tool was created that can detect gas leaks and fires which can send danger warning messages to users, namely building owners and firefighters via the telegram application, from research carried out by the tool created to successfully detect the presence of gas leaks when the PPM value of LPG gas exceeds 100 PPM as well as fires when the presence of fire is detected, the carbon dioxide value in smoke exceeds 100 PPM, and also high temperatures, the tool will identify dangerous conditions and send a danger warning message to the user along with the coordinates and Google Maps link for the location of the equipment when a fire occurs.…”

Numerical Investigation of Critical Velocity in Reduced Scale Tunnel Fire with Constant Heat Release Rate by Ruben Mouangue, Philippe M. Onguene, Justin T. Zaida, Henri P. F. Ekobena

“…Hot gases and smoke produced by fire form layers flowing towards extremities of the tunnel which may interfere with person’s evacuation and firefighter’s intervention. This paper carries out a numerical simulation of an unexpected fire occurring in a one-way tunnel in order to investigate for the critical velocity of the ventilation airflow; this one is defined as the minimum velocity able to maintain the combustion products in the downstream side of tunnel. …”
