Abstract The first version of a method for predicting the hazards to occupants involved in a building fire is described. The method and available computer software, called HAZARDI, can predict the time varying environment within a building resulting from a specified fire; the locations and actions of occupants; and the impact of the exposure of each of the occupants to the fire products in terms of whether the occupants successfully escape, are incapacitated, or are killed.
