Fire Science

Fire science is the study of fire behavior, its causes, effects, and how to prevent and extinguish it. It combines principles from chemistry, physics, engineering, and environmental science to understand how fires ignite, spread, and can be controlled. Fire scientists analyze factors like fuel type, temperature, and oxygen availability to develop strategies for safety and risk management. This field also focuses on fire prevention practices, community safety education, and firefighting techniques to protect lives, property, and the environment. Understanding fire science is crucial for effectively responding to wildfires, structural fires, and other fire hazards.
