Biomechanical engineering research in fires examines the interaction between fire dynamics and human physiology. 

By studying how heat, smoke and toxic gases affect the body, scientists develop innovative protective gear and evacuation strategies.

This research enhances firefighter safety, improves building designs, and informs emergency response protocols for more effective fire management.
