in cooperation with the zurich building insurance company, we are investigating underventilated primary and secondary fires in complex multi-storey cellar and building geometries for their hazard potential for intervention forces, we are recording a large number of interacting fire phenomena and dynamics and documenting their effects on the further course of the fire and the forces and materials used in the interior attack.
the extensive thermal effects on a burning cellar system are just as much a part of this study as the recognition and identification of thermal logics in the areas of fire propagation and thermal distribution.
the GVZ instructor training education 2024 will be one of the outcomes of this study programme.
