NIST Fire Fighting Technology Group
Research
The Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) studies building materials; computer-integrated construction practices; fire science and fire safety engineering; and structural, mechanical, and environmental engineering. Products of the laboratory's research include measurements and test methods, performance criteria, and technical data that supports innovations by industry and are incorporated into building and fire standards and codes.
The Building and Fire Research Laboratory's Fire Fighting Technology Group (FFTG) enables advances in fire fighter safety, fire ground operations, and effectiveness of the fire service; develops and applies technology, measurements and standards, and improves the understanding of the behavior, prevention and control of fires to enhance fire fighting operations and equipment, fire suppression, fire investigations, and disaster response.
More information on research being conducted by the Building and Fire Research Laboratory can be found at the Laboratory's web site: http://www.bfrl.nist.gov.
