Wildfires that spread into communities, commonly referred to as WUI fires, are a significant problem in Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, and the United States. WUI fire spread is extraordinarily challenging and presents an emerging problem in fire safety science. While it is accepted that WUI fires are an important societal problem, little understanding exists on how to contain and mitigate the hazard associated with such fires. The recent WUI fire in Fort McMurray, Canada in 2016 captured the world’s attention to the devastation WUI fires may bring to communities. Hardening, or making structures more resistant to ignition in WUI fires, is an accepted approach to lessen the devastation produced by WUI fire exposures [1]. Building codes and standards already exist that provide requirements for the construction of new buildings in areas known to be prone to WUI fires [2–5]. Proven, scientifically based retrofitting strategies are required for homes, and other buildings, located in areas prone to such fires. The objective of codes and standards is to reduce the risk of structural ignition. They have been developed based on the best information at the time they were developed. The provisions generally focused on flame contact and radiant heat exposures. Based on current research, are these current codes and standards adequate? A workshop entitled Structure Ignition in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires was held on June 18–19, 2015 in Anaheim, CA. The presentations of the workshop were separated into four topic areas: post-fire studies, structure ignition/firebrand accumulation and generation studies, WUI modeling, and evaluation of mitigation strategies. The interested reader is referred to a NIST Special Publication that documents all the presentations at the workshop [6]. In total, 12 presentations were delivered at the workshop. Authors that delivered accepted presentations were invited to submit papers as part of a special section for publication in Fire Technology. As discussed below, 6 papers were ultimately accepted for publication.

荒地-城市界面 (WUI) 火灾中的结构点火特节

蔓延到社区的野火,通常称为 WUI 火灾,是澳大利亚、加拿大、欧洲、南美和美国的一个重大问题。WUI 火势蔓延极具挑战性,是消防安全科学中一个新出现的问题。虽然 WUI 火灾是一个重要的社会问题,但人们对如何控制和减轻与此类火灾相关的危害知之甚少。2016 年加拿大麦克默里堡最近发生的 WUI 火灾引起了全世界对 WUI 火灾可能给社区带来的破坏的关注。在 WUI 火灾中硬化,或使结构更耐点燃,是减少 WUI 火灾造成的破坏的公认方法 [1]。已经存在的建筑规范和标准规定了在已知易发生 WUI 火灾的地区建造新建筑的要求 [2-5]。位于易发生此类火灾的地区的房屋和其他建筑物需要经过验证的、基于科学的改造策略。规范和标准的目标是降低结构起火的风险。它们是根据开发时的最佳信息开发的。这些规定通常侧重于火焰接触和辐射热暴露。根据目前的研究,这些现行法规和标准是否足够?2015 年 6 月 18 日至 19 日在加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆举办了一场名为“荒地-城市界面 (WUI) 火灾中的结构点火”的研讨会。研讨会的演讲分为四个主题领域:火灾后研究、结构点火/火炬积累和生成研究、WUI 建模和缓解策略评估。感兴趣的读者可以参考 NIST 特别出版物,该出版物记录了研讨会上的所有演示文稿 [6]。研讨会上共进行了 12 场演讲。发表被接受的演讲的作者被邀请提交论文,作为 Fire Technology 出版的特别部分的一部分。如下所述,最终有 6 篇论文被接受发表。发表被接受的演讲的作者被邀请提交论文,作为 Fire Technology 出版的特别部分的一部分。如下所述,最终有 6 篇论文被接受发表。发表被接受的演讲的作者被邀请提交论文,作为 Fire Technology 出版的特别部分的一部分。如下所述,最终有 6 篇论文被接受发表。
