Description

Firebrands and spot-fires caused by them are the important factors in case of an urban fire. However, only a few engineering approaches have been done for research of firebrands due to a lack of appropriate experimental facilities. Therefore, the authors implemented a fullscale fire-test in the Fire-Wind-Tunnel to bum a fire-preventive wooden house and tried to find out how firebrands generated during the fire. And the main purpose was to quantitatively as well as qualitatively understand the correlation between the generation of firebrands and the progress of a fire. Conclusions are as follows: (1) Phenomena during a fire, which greatly generate firebrands, are flashover, collapse of framework-members, opening jet plume, and so on. (2) Firebrands generated from a burning house were collected and the mass of each firebrand was measured. (3) The authors will implement other fullscale fire-tests using Fire-Wind-Tunnel with different experimental conditions such as wind velocity and a structural type of a house.
