The National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) located on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Gaithersburg, Maryland campus is a unique experimental facility dedicated to understanding fire behavior and structural response to fire. Scientists and engineers from industry, academia, and government agencies can collaborate with NIST researchers to address critical technical problems that promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology for engineered systems in ways to enhance economic security and improve quality of life. Current research areas include:
Advancement of real-scale structural-fire measurements,
Generation of technical data to improve fire & building codes,
Validation of physics-based models, and Post-fire investigations.
