Always great to see work from School of Engineering final year projects making it to journal publications! Even better when the student sticks around to do a #PhD! #timber #fire #char

New paper! doi.org/10.1071/WF22129 We look at the effect of the structure of natural fuels on heat transfer mechanisms driving #FlameSpread. In-bed heating from the #combustion zone is super important but flame heating varies with fuel load #wildfires #WhenIsAClumpAClump

Our annual ‘Fire Science & Fire Investigation’ course is running this week. Here’s some of our delegates watching some demos in the lab. 🔥🔍

Today is the poster day for our SAFE MSc class, marking the end of their studies here. Congratulations to all who made it here!

Usually we burn things in the name of science, but today we were burning things in the name of art! Artist Aura Satz (lux.org.uk/artist/aura-sa…) and cinematographer Luke Fowler (luke-fowler.com) came to burn emergency warning beacons for a film. For release in April 2024.

A great time is being had this week at the #IAFSS2023 conference in Tsukuba, Japan. This is a photo of Edinburgh Fire people, past and present!
