It was great to meet and talk with our fire academic siblings in the other side of London. This is the 1st Fire Science Workshop between UCL and Imperial. We talked about the fire hazards and engineering solutions to wildfires, batteries, timber, spacecrafts…

New Episode! "161 - Community evacuation with Enrico Ronchi and Max Kinateder" Is evacuation of a community during a wildfire largely different from evacuation of a building? How much of the knowled… Player links & show notes: firescienceshow.com/161-community-…

Today, #TheCombustionInstitute recognizes the second of four Gold Medal winners honored at the #40thISOC in Milan. Learn more about the 2024 #AlfredCEgertonGoldMedal recipient, A. Carlos Fernandez-Pello of UC Berkeley: combustioninstitute.org/news/a-carlos-… Congratulations! #Combustion

Last May Prof Fernandez-Pello from UC Berkeley came to visit us. We took him to the fire lab. There are two Carloses in this photo 🥰

Great start to the #ESFSS2024 with introduction and welcome from Prof Planas to the beautiful campus of Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE) in Barcelona, and with a fantastic plenary by Prof Rory Hadden on fire spread!

Excellent opening by Prof. Rory Hadden at European Symposium in Fire Safety Science 2024 in Barcelona. “Revisiting flame spread: new problems, new tools, new opportunities”.

Since everyone is in Barcellona having a great time and my FOMO is at level high, and since my online presence is very limited these days, I decided to make a comeback!! I realized I had not shared this picture, taken during IAFSS23 in Japan. With so many amazing people 😍

Excellent presentation by Jamie John (Imperial Hazelab 👨🏽‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 🔥) Wildfire2024 #wildfire2024 on the 2022 London wildfires and the role of VPD. Pre print here. researchsquare.com/article/rs-477… BBC article: bbc.com/news/articles/… with London Fire Brigade and Prof Guillermo Rein. 🔥

We spent some time at Imperial’s fire lab today with different media crews talking about wildfires and our research. We showed them our wildfire demo with thin dead fuels (aka excelsior). In this video, which fuel is wet and which one is dry? Video by Dr H Mitchell.

Great video on the science of the LA wildfires! Proud to have helped with preparing our lab for this video on such an important topic 🔥

Prof Whelton and the engineering students from Purdue University brought so much joy, energy, generosity, knowledge and discussion to Imperial today. Thank yoy. Boiler Up!

I am proud to see our facade fire research being recognised with the best paper award by SFPE. The project was led by Matt and I at Imperial, in collaboration with Wojciech at ITB. Initiated and completed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the project tackled a key question in

I am starting a collection of battery fire safety signs from around the world. This one is from Switzerland. Do you have one to share? #BatteryFireSigns

Not a sign about battery fire safety, but some pretty questionable advice from a housekeeping column from the 1950s! #BatteryFireSigns Battery Fire Safety 🔥⚡️

Dear Sir Anthony Anthony Hopkins, My name is Guillermo Rein, professor from Imperial College London, UK. Although we have not met, I have long admired your work and the positive influence you have had on so many people around the world.​ I was deeply saddened to learn of the

3/6 Through several EU-funded projects, Prof. Prof Guillermo Rein. 🔥 explores how to mitigate the risk of fire by exploring its behaviour in urban and natural environments.

The term firewave describes multiple urban wildfires triggered by extended periods of hot, dry weather. Hot, dry summers bring new 'firewave' risk to UK cities, scientists warn bbc.com/news/articles/…
