In Richburg, South Carolina, scientists are conducting controlled wildfire tests on homes to understand how to protect them from the increasing threat of wildfires. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), a nonprofit, is leading these efforts to enhance building resilience against fire. The tests involve setting fire to homes built with different materials and designs, allowing researchers to observe how structures withstand flames. The goal is to gather data on fire behavior and its impact on homes, using sensors and cameras to monitor fire spread and identify vulnerabilities in construction. This research aims to develop effective strategies and building practices that can reduce the risk of home damage during a wildfire.
