Studying my PhD in Imperial College on flame spread over building facade and its mechanical failure mechanism

@HRRBFireSafety @GuillermoRein Hi Phil, thank you for the comments and for pointing out the typos.

It seems like I have also made a mistake on the extinguishment time. The fire was extinguished at around 9 a.m instead of pm after 12/13 hours of fire fighting. Debris was said to be still smouldering though.

Our @SFPE_London webinar with @BMesserschmidt1 begins in 20 minutes! Hope to see you there 😁

The chapter is going on holiday for a couple of weeks but we have planned a few exciting webinars for when we come back in September!

The first in line is Birgitte @BMesserschmidt1 from @NFPA talking about fire statistics in the US.

This isn't the first time this kind of fire has happened. You can find a list of similar fires over the last 30 years that I compiled here: https://t.co/LZmVXqTw2q

You can also find our review of the facade fire literature here: https://t.co/gubtDa21KF

@FrancescaLugar1 @yuqihu1990 @ImperialHazelab I got to very hot. Probably what I can have in real life too 😂.

[benjamin khoo @khoo93]

Welcome back @nievesfdezanez, thank you @GuillermoRein for the meal!!

[Francesco Restuccia @FranRestuccia]

Interested or know someone interested in starting a PhD in thermal engineering in 2020? email me at [email protected]
I'm recruiting PhD students in two areas @kcl_engineering : i) thermal management of battery packs and ii) fire dynamics of wood in wildfires.

[benjamin khoo @khoo93]

Thank you @GuillermoRein for the Christmas lunch. Also, thanks to @FrancescaLugar1 and @yuqihu1990 for organising this!

[SFPE London Student Chapter @SFPE_London]

It's that very cold but very festive time of the year... XMAS SFPE PARTY!! 😍
Join us next Friday (6th Dec) to celebrate and feast on cakes and mulled wine 🍷🧁

@MattBonnerFire will be performing live some Christmas carols on a 😱GRAND PIANO 😱

Last test of the week! Super excited to look at all this data 😁 @WojciechITB @khoo93 @FrancescaLugar1

[benjamin khoo @khoo93]

The end of our last experiment in ITB. Really informative and productive week. Thanks @WojciechITB and the ITB's technician for hosting us!

[Wojciech Węgrzyński 🔥🎙 @WojciechITB]

Day 4 - last 5 experiments today.

Ever vigilant @MattBonnerFire 😊

@fireboomer @GuillermoRein @MancCommunities Hi pieter, we are working to understand the fire dynamics within the facade cavity. We do this by breaking the problems into several scenarios. Currently there is no combustible material. But we will study it soon!

"The #fire alarms go off almost every day so we just thought this was just another false alarm”. Given at least one person was also rescued via an aerial platform this sounds like a close call. #Bolton #boltonfire https://t.co/NQsVCdZ6vC
