This is my conversation with Steve Kerber from the UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute from the 2023 NFPA Convention in Las Vegas! We discuss what the Research Institute is doing to reduce the damage and injuries that come from Lithium Ion batteries. What’s the future for Lithium, and how are they testing current products available, and more.

What's the UL Fire Safety Research Institute think of Lithium? Ft. Steve Kerber

In this episode I was really happy to host two amazing researchers from UL FSRI - Dr Steve Kerber, the VP of Underwriter Laboratories and Director of UL Fire Safety Research Institute, and Dr Craig Weinschenk, research engineer and a data wizard. Together we venture into the world of fire research carried together with firefighters, with the critical goal of saving firefighter lives and reducing the damage caused by fire. Join us to learn how the largest full-scale fire experiments are performed and what is the recipe to learn the most from them, and share that knowledge in a most efficient manner. UL FSRI shares tons of useful resources, all that can be found at their website https://fsri.org/ IMHO the most amazing of these resources is the fire investigation page with all the interactive results of large fire experiments. You must check this amazing resource out!You may also want to check other resources provided by UL FSRI, starting with:Live stream feed from one of their huge fire experimentsThe amazing YouTube channel of UL FSRIUL FSRI Training coursesandGithub repository with the data from fire experiments

036 - Researching fire with firefighters - UL FSRI: Steve Kerber and Craig Weinschenk

Steve Kerber and Dan Madrzykowski of Underwriters Laboratories are the most famous guests we have had on Combustible. They both have been on the forefront of research into some of the fire service's most deeply held beliefs about how we fight fire. Wind driven fires. Positive pressure ventilation. Flow Path. Sound familiar?During this episode we talk to them aboutWhat you do when you don't get the results you were expectingThe nature of presenting "controversial" findings to a very traditional group of peopleWhy you go to Sweden or New Zealand to get a doctorateJust what it means to be an Honorary Battalion Chief with FDNYWhy research matters to the fire serviceAnd as always, we have a war story or two and then unleash our Pivot questions on them and get some truly surprising answers.
