The ICBO promulgates the Uniform Building, Fire, Mechanical and Plumbing Codes. FIRE SCIENCE AND CODE REFERENCE LIBRARY John A. Kennedy and Associates maintains a comprehensive professional reference library of over one thousand volumes. The library contains works covering such topics as general references; various trade publications; fire codes and standards; safety codes and standards; industry codes and standards; federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations; fire science; current fire research; materials science; computer fire modeling; fire investigation; fire protection; explosions; solid and liquid fuels; fuel gases; welding; transportation; and law enforcement. The library is continuously upgraded by the addition of new works, periodicals, current codes, standards handbooks, and a complete collection of new research publications and related texts. In addition, a collection of more than 250,000 photographs, slides and videotapes of fire science, fire engineering, and fire investigation topics is maintained in our library and files. COMPUTER MODELING OF FIRES In keeping with the continuous upgrading of its fire research facilities, John A. Kennedy and Associates maintains an up-to-date inventory of fire dynamics computer modeling software and hardware. With this capability, John A. Kennedy and Associates can produce detailed computer/mathematical models of fire behavior. Patrick Kennedy was trained both at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at our own facilities by NIST staff, and the National Association of Fire Investigators Computer Fire Modeling course, in the use of the latest "state-of-the-art" computer fire models. He has also completed the National Association of Fire Investigators Computer Fire Modeling Course. These models can predict room fire temperatures, flashover, smoke and hot gases layers in rooms, smoke temperatures in atriums, buoyant pressure of hot smoke, ceiling plume temperature, ceiling plume jet temperature, egress time, fire/wind/stack forces on doors, lateral flame spread, fire severity, mass (smoke) flow through a vent, volume flow of smoke, radiant ignition of fuels, volume of smoke flow through an orifice, fire sprinkler or detector response, energy needed for flashover, upper level temperature (flashover) of a room, and maximum burning rate (ventilation controlled).

11

These computer fire-modeling programs have been promulgated by the NIST Building and Fire Research Laboratory. Some of the models most commonly applied to fire investigation issues are: ASET (Available Safe Egress Time) and ASET-B; CFAST (Fire and Smoke Transport); FPEtool (Fire Protection Engineering Tools, including FIREFORM and the zone model Fire Simulator); and the field model FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) and its companion graphics program, SMOKEVIEW.

ASET-B (Available Safe Egress Time - BASIC) is a program for calculating the temperature and position of the hot smoke layer in a single room with closed doors and windows. ASET-B is a compact easy to run program that solves the same equations as ASET. The required program inputs are a heat loss fraction, the height (elevation of the base) of the fire, the room ceiling height, the room floor area, the maximum time for the simulation, and the heat release rate of the fire. The program outputs are the temperature and thickness of the hot smoke layer as a function of time.

CFAST is a zone model that predicts the effect of a specified fire on temperatures, various gas concentrations and smoke layer heights in a multi-compartment structure. It is a subsequent generation program to FPEtool.

FPEtool is a collection of computer simulated procedures providing numerical engineering calculations of fire phenomena to the building designer, code enforcer, fire protection engineer and fire-safety related practitioner. Version 3.2 incorporates an estimate of smoke conditions developing within a room receiving steady-state smoke leakage from an adjacent space. Estimates of human viability resulting from exposure to developing conditions within the room are calculated based upon the smoke temperature and toxicity. There is no modeling of human behavior. Also new to this release is the estimation (in the FIRE SIMULATOR procedure) of the reduction in fire heat release rate due to sprinkler suppression. FPEtool also contains FIREFORM.

FIREFORM is a collection of routines designed to give fast response to specific questions. While some routines require slightly more detail than a couple of input variables, the standard routine requires relatively little effort to generate a solution. Included in FIREFORM are Thomas’ Flashover Correlation, ASET-B, and Upper Layer Temperature.

UPPER LAYER TEMPERATURE is a fast, rugged method for predicting pre-flashover upper-layer gas temperatures in a compartment fire with a door and/or window.

FDS (NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) field model of fire-driven fluid flow.

SMOKEVIEW is a visualization program that is used to display the results of an FDS or a later version of CFAST simulation. Patrick Kennedy taught “Fire Modeling and Fire Investigation – Practical Applications of Fire Modeling in Fire Investigation,” for the NFPA at the 2002 NFPA Fall Education Conference, Atlanta, GA, November 17, 2002.

CONSULTANT TO THE UNITED STATES FIRE ADMINISTRATION Beginning in January 1993, Patrick Kennedy started serving as a frequent consultant to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's United States Fire Administration at the National Emergency Training Center and National Fire Academy campus in Emmitsburg, Maryland. He was selected to serve on, and be a working group leader of, the National Arson Forum Conference on Federal Arson Policy Priorities. Patrick Kennedy, along with thirty others, was selected to serve on the conference by a committee of the IAAI and USFA representatives. Each participant was selected on the basis of demonstrated expertise and line experience. Patrick Kennedy was invited by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, USFA to serve on a twelve-member Arson Forum, which proposed specific fire research testing to implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory "Program for the Study of Fire Patterns.” This Arson Forum was held in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 17-19, 1993. In March 1994, Patrick Kennedy was selected by the USFA as the chairman of a group of five "recognized authorities on arson investigation" to serve as the research committee for the Program for the Study of Fire Patterns. The research committee sets the protocols and standards for the testing to be done on the program by the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, oversees and supervises the testing, analyzes the test results data, and writes the program report. The report was issued by the USFA in 1998. He was selected in 1994 to serve as a consultant to rewrite the curriculum of two of the National Fire Academy's courses on fire and arson investigation. In July 1995, Patrick Kennedy was selected and served as a delegate to the United States Fire Administration/National Fire Academy, The National Symposium on Training for Arson Prevention and Control, held at the National Fire Academy, Emmitsburg, Maryland, July, 12-14, 1995.

FIRE SCIENCE AND ANALYSIS RESEARCH Patrick Kennedy is one of the leading authorities in fire science research as it pertains to fire and explosion cause, origin and responsibility analysis. He is the author and originator of many methods, concepts, and terms used in modern fire and explosion investigation, including truncated cone patterns analysis, cleanburn, heat shadowing, the concept of effective fire temperatures, heat and flame vectoring and analysis, explosion dynamics analysis, the principle of the "Kennedy Threshold" between high and low order explosions, and “Kennedy’s Flashover Correlation Curves”. He has supervised and participated in many laboratory and field research projects into the nature of fire and explosion development and fire spread in structures. In 1981 in Orlando, Florida, he supervised, along with John Kennedy, the first definitive experiment into the nature of the relationship between fuel vapor density and explosion damage. This experiment involved the actual explosion of a house using LP gas and the interpretation of the blast damage. This experiment, known as the "Orlando Explosion Experiment" or the "Kennedy Explosion Experiment," has become the classic demonstration of the accurate principle of relating blast damage to fuel vapor density and disproved the commonly accepted theory of that time. He is the Administrator and Chief Forensic Fire Analyst of the “Advanced Fire Pattern Analysis (AFPA) Research Project,” a project, begun in 1985, to produce mathematical and computer models for fire patterns analysis. The AFPA Research Project participated as a “Beta” site for the evaluation of the National Bureau of Standards - Center for Fire Research, “Hazard I” computer fire model. As such, they tested the computer predicted fire by comparing it to an experimental burning of an actual structure. The AFPA Research Project, in collaboration with the Eastern Kentucky University Fire and Safety Engineering Technology Program, conducted the definitive research into the reliability of reports of the color of fire and smoke as investigative tools. Patrick Kennedy was a member of the three-person steering committee for the original National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory "Program for the Study of Fire Patterns," a proposed three-year project to study the true nature of fire patterns used in fire investigation origin and cause determination. In 1993 Patrick Kennedy was invited by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), United States Fire Administration (USFA) to serve on the twelve-member Arson Forum, which proposed specific fire research testing to implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory "Program for the Study of Fire Patterns.” The Arson Forum was held in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 17-19, 1993. In March, 1994, Patrick Kennedy was selected by the United States Fire Administration as the chairman of a research committee of five "recognized authorities on arson investigation" for the Program for the Study of Fire Patterns. This program was a direct outgrowth of the originally proposed NIST BFRL program. The USFA research committee set the protocols and standards for the testing to be done on the Program by the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, oversaw and supervised the testing, analyzed the test results data, and wrote the Program report.
