# Canadian Lab Uses Controlled Burns to Study Forest Fire Threats
Scientists and engineers at Canada's national fire safety facility in Ottawa are conducting controlled building fires as part of research into threats posed by forest fires. The laboratory purposefully burns down structures in a controlled environment to study fire behavior and develop safety measures.
The research reflects a growing focus within Canada's fire safety community on the dangers that wildfires present. By studying how fires spread and behave in built environments, the facility aims to better understand and mitigate risks associated with forest fire threats to buildings and infrastructure.
