OUR MISSION
Consistent with UC’s mission to serve the best interests of the State, the Fire Research Group is working toward the development and implementation of more effective technological solutions for uncontrolled fires in wildlands, cities and industrial complexes. It is our belief that by engaging a broad range of talent across the State of California and beyond, we can innovate new approaches to address this challenge for the State of California, the nation and the world.
RESEARCH SCOPE
Uncontrolled fires are a growing problem that will continue to vex countries around the globe and drain their resources. In the popular press, year after year there are fire-horror stories such as:
If this problem is ever to be managed effectively, harmonization of modern engineering technology and environmental science is going to be needed. The Fire Research Group (FRG) consists of researchers at UC Berkeley, The Space Sciences Laboratory (Berkeley), Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, industry and across that State of California that bring together expertise across a wide range of technological fields involving
