Edinburgh Fire

Yesterday was the final event in the Fire Engineering Science MSc for some of our students, where they presented posters of their research projects. Some great work presented! 🔥

Our annual Fire Science and Fire Investigation course is being taught this week. Here's Prof @rorymiles explaining fire behaviour to some of our delegates. 🔥

The SFPE European Conference & Expo on Fire Safety Engineering is happening in Edinburgh this week and (of course) some of our students and staff are there, including Prof. Emeritus Dougal Drysdale! 🔥 @SfpeUoe

PhD student “Capybara” Liao presenting his work at the International Symposium on Tunnel Safety & Security (ISTSS) in Reykjavik today. 🔥🚇

PhD student Mohammed presenting his poster at the FIVE: Fires in Vehicles conference in Reykjavik today.

We welcomed new cohorts of MSc students on the IMFSE and Fire Engineering Science programmes yesterday. Here they are with Prof. @rorymiles and the statue of James Braidwood. 🔥

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ In the @EdinburghFire lab we are celebrating our LGBT+ students, staff, and collaborators with Rainbow Explosions! 🏳️‍🌈💥 @SchoolOfEng_UoE @EdinburghUni #PrideInEngineering #Diversity @PrideEdinburgh How we did it 🧵 (don’t try this at home!) (1/8)

Our researchers Dr Rory Hadden and Sergio Vargas-Cordoba have worked with artist Katie Paterson on #ToBurnForestFire – an exhibition now showing at #TalbotRice Gallery which observes planetary #wildfire in real time. Visit before 17 Feb 2024 ➡️ edin.ac/3udShGC

This week we welcomed five @IntMaFSE @imfse students in their final semester to Edinburgh. They're here to do some fiery research. But first, some tasty Venezuelan food! 🌮🔥

New Episode! "129 - Backdraught and Underventilated Fires with Dr. Ricky Carvel" In today's episode, we go into the practical consequences of having an underventilated fire - that is the possibility… Player links & show notes: firescienceshow.com/129-backdraugh…

I really should have tagged @dirushuk @welchsUK and @rickycarvel in there.

It was the Engineering Winter Graduation ceremony today. Here's a photo of some of our Structural and Fire Safety Engineering MSc graduates, with a few fiery staff. 🔥🏗️

New Episode! "128 - Fire Safety Engineering with Dr. Ricky Carvel" Dear friends of the Fire Science Show, and listeners of the Smart Passive Income Podcast - today is some sort of a special broadcas… Player links & show notes: firescienceshow.com/128-fire-safet…

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!

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.

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

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

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
