The MFIRE 4.0 software is now available from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to assist mine operators and researchers with modeling different types of fires that can occur in mines. MFIRE 4.0 substantially improves upon NIOSH’s mine fire simulation software MFIRE 3.0 by incorporating two time-dependent fire source models and a smoke rollback identification model. This software update will enable mine operators to better anticipate how to plan for and respond to a fire using more accurately modeled fire and ventilation behavior.
