Uncovered Witness: Fire Science Revelations

Wojciech Wegrzynski

In this podcast, I am joining HALLIWELL Fire Research to provide a fundamental insight into fire science. With content that does not require any prior knowledge, we hope to guide the listener from the basics into the real fire science revelations. With an in-depth discussion of past catastrophic fires and the most impactful research, we build a sound foundation on where the knowledge on fire comes from. We also take a look into the future and how the field may change in the coming years."Uncovered

2024/12/17

Welcome to the third season of Uncovered Witness: Fire Science Revelations. In the third season, the focus shifts from a purely technical analysis of building design and fire safety measures to an understanding of the intricate legal and regulatory landscapes that govern compliance. Across four in-depth episodes, experts in law, engineering, insurance, and forensic fire research collectively shed light on how buildings achieve (or fail to achieve) legal compliance and genuine safety.

Welcome to Season 2 of Uncovered Witness: Fire Science Revelations! This season, the show's theme is Humans as part of a fire safety engineered system. In this series, we will unravel our understanding of human behaviour in fires and how this complex behaviour may be accounted for in the fire-safe design of buildings. Our understanding of the occupant response, decision-making process and biases may influence our design of exits and improve (or impede) the egress process. In the second e...

The Expert Witness with Kristen E. Lange

2024/06/13

In this episode of The Uncovered Witness, I've invited Kristen E. Lange from Ogden Murphy Wallace P.L.L.C. In her expertise, Kristen has worked on court cases related to fire safety; in those cases, she has worked with expert witnesses who were fire safety engineers. Trying to tap into this experience, we try to identify "who" is the expert witness? What role are they in legal proceedings, and how is their expertise presented? Also, what makes an outstanding expert witness? This show is ...
