The Problem
An urban conflagration is a massive fire that rapidly spreads through a city, burning buildings rather than vegetation. Unlike wildfires, it feeds on homes and structures, often wiping out entire neighborhoods.
During urban conflagrations, 95% of home destruction is caused by embers traveling miles and penetrating homes through openings as small as 3mm in size.
