Presentation: Fire Research Overview of Metro State University (Denver) Fire Science Program

This presentation will cover three separate fire research experiments that are currently being conducted at Metro State University. The research topics will include: Macroscopic Examination of Soot Deposition/ Agglomeration on Smoke/CO Detectors; Gypsum Wall Board Calcination by IR Examination; and Reproducible Fuel Package used in Reduced Scale Enclosure Hypothesis Testing. The speaker will discuss the experiments being conducted; will present the theory behind the research; and will explain why the research is important (i.e., what will we learn or how will it change the way we do things in the future).
