The Forest Fire Research Laboratory, situated close to the Lousã Airfield and to the National School of Firefighters, aims to study fire behavior, and pass the knowledge to the operational teams, in order to reduce the consequences of forest fires. In the experiments bellow it was intended to show how the fire behaves in different conditions, like a slope with a specific degree of inclination (Experiment 1) and with cyclonic winds (Experiment 2).
Experiment 1 – Ignition
Experiment 1 – Raging Fire
Apparatus used to test safety measures in fire trucks
Smoke in the room after experiments
Experiment 2 – Fire Tornado
Experiment 2 – Core of the fire tornado
