Fire Reconstruction
With more than 6000 sq ft of laboratory space, CSE has the in-house facilities and resources for small to mid-scale fire reconstruction projects.  CSE is equipped with a full-scale, two room corridor test facility and 2/5-scale test compartment, as well as exhaust hoods capable of venting fires sized up to 400 kW.  Additionally, CSE has a mobile instrumentation unit for off-site testing in large-scale reconstruction incidents, and CSE has a working relationship with various institutions with facilities for large-scale fire reconstruction. Past cooperation for full-scale scenarios includes the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute, and the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at New Mexico Tech.
