The University of Waterloo Fire Research Group

Collaborates with a wide range of industrial and government partners on fire safety. Among other things, we examine the behaviour of full-scale fires, the flammability and performance of materials and products, fire initiation and spread, and methods of fire detection. Our world-class, $5.6 million fire research infrastructure includes a large cross-flow test area used for a variety of wind-driven experiments, including wind turbine performance.
