Abstract CALFIRE, the acronym for CALculate Fire In Room and Enclosure, is a knowledge-based mathematical formulation of analytical and numerical procedures to predict the consequences of a fire in a room or enclosure. CALFIRE is a well-knit and integrated computer model that offers menu items such as heat release rate (HRR), flame height, vent size, and room temperatures of closed rooms, and rooms with natural and forced ventilation. Warnings and checks have been provided to prevent the misuse of the model. Care has been taken to require minimal keyboard responses in order to make CALFIRE a truly user-friendly, interactive fire model.
