Abstract:
Computer fire modeling at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) began in 1976 when the
Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute
developed a fire model called RFIRES. Subsequently the
Harvard Fire Model, now known as FIRST, was developed at
Harvard University. Computer modeling initially
required main frame computers, severly restricting the
use of these models by the fire community.
