Fire in Targeting Urban/Industrial Areas

Abstract

A preliminary study of the parameters pertinent to considerations of fire in urban targeting illustrated the dominance of some factors and the insensitivity to damage assessments of others. The factors considered, together with the simple assumptions and approximations used in this scoping study supported the assumption that fire may add significantly to the damage to urban/ industrial targets. The influence of uncertainties and unknowns were evaluated, and the consequent implications for research were assessed.
