Wildfire Structure Survival

Recent science and studies have shown that overtime, FireSmart principles can significantly reduce the risk related to losses in a wildfire event.

Laboratory testing, physical modeling and recent wildfires have increased our understanding of structural ignitions and fire behaviour such as radiant heat transfer and the flammability of different building materials.
