The SFPE Fire Model Selection Task Group is accepting comments on the 2nd edition of Guidelines for Substantiating a Fire Model. The intent of the guide is to provide a framework for determining and documenting the suitability of a particular fire model for use in a specific application. The guide applies once a decision has been made to use a fire model to aid in solving or reviewing a specific fire protection application. If you would like to submit a comment, use the button below to download Guidelines for Substantiating a Fire Model, 2nd edition, and the public comment form. All comments are required to have a substantiation to be considered. Comments are due before January 24, 2025. Review and submit here: https://ow.ly/E6qZ50UoEX3
