The fire risk is taken into account introducing an equivalent fire block in the Reliability Block Diagram scheme; it has an MTBF value calculated form yearly statistics of UPS fire events. The reliability of the most used UPS electrical configurations is evaluated by means of the RBD method. ...
When examining the statistical analysis of the total yearly burned area over time (Fig. 3D and Table S1), no significant difference is observed (p = 0.546), suggesting that there are no significant temporal trends in burned area from 1985 to 2022. However, the period from 1985 to 1994...

Temporal patterns are depicted on the basis of yearly (a, b), seasonal (c–e), and monthly (f–h) occurrences. The seasons are denoted by the months they contain, with DJF representing winter, MAM representing spring, JJA representing summer, and SON representing autumn. Panels (a, c,...
Yearly burned area doubled every 44 years across the simulated increases in fuel aridity, and only every 133 years across the simulated gradient of fuel accumulation. Patterns were similar for area burned at high severity, with regressive scenarios leading to faster proportional increases in area ...
Fire risk assessment checklist for offices The starting point for all office fire safety measures lies infire risk assessment. This is a task required by law, and responsibility for it rests with the nominated ‘Responsible Person’ or ‘Duty Holder’. Three similar pieces of legislation for Eng...
The catastrophic consequences of fire taking hold cannot be underestimated. Taking time to develop a robust risk assessment and identifying the most suitable firefighting equipment is likely to be time well spent. Here we take a look at the types of fire extinguisher available, how t...
the risk of drought and fire in the SAP region was temporarily mitigated by a weakening of the positive phase of the AMO. As the AMO is an internal fluctuation, its recent trend will not persist indefinitely. Therefore, the fire risk in the SAP region will be amplified by intensified anthro...
