- Abstract
- Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Building and Fire Laboratory (BFRL) are working with the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA); the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF); and the U.S. Department of Justice to provide a more scientific basis for the investigation of fire. This article will provide an overview of where the state of the art research is and where it may lead us.
