The unseen flames are the ones that pose the most threat while fighting fires.
In firefighting, the worst flames are the ones you don't see coming. Amid the chaos of a burning building, it is difficult to notice the signs of impending flashover -; a deadly fire phenomenon wherein nearly all combustible items in a room ignite suddenly.
Researchers have developed a model that leverages neural networks to forecast flashovers, one of the leading causes of firefighter deaths.
Flashover is one of the leading causes of firefighter deaths, but new research suggests that AI could provide first responders with a much-needed heads-up.
