NIST Wildland–Urban Interface Fire

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Scope

Research on WUI fire exposure, community fire spread, structure performance, mitigation and measurement methods.

Strong use

Structure ignition, ember exposure, structure-to-structure spread, community exposure and science-based mitigation context.

Evidence limits

Research findings and methodologies need to be matched to the building, exposure, code environment and scenario being analysed.

Source policy: Tecnobosque identifies what a source can support and what it cannot. A link to an authoritative source does not transfer authority to Tecnobosque and does not remove the need to preserve publication time, version and incident context.
