Power bank caused fire of a house
At a time when the curfew was already in force, thick smoke began to rise from the second floor of the family house in the village of Kleneč near Roudnice nad Labem, Central Bohemia. This was the initial second phase of the fire, which was staying completely unnoticed. As the fire began to be accompanied by the sound of window panes shattering, it was spotted by a single person. The witness was a sixteen-year-old boy who lived in the house with his mother and younger sister.

Measurement of heat flow in fire environment
The temperature is an intuitive quantity that is inextricably linked to a fire. However, the temperature itself is often not meaningful for assessing the response of a material to heat. One of the basic quantities that helps us determine the effect of fire on its surroundings, especially the reaction of materials and structures exposed to thermal energy, is the heat flow. Measuring of a heat flow in a fire environment is a relatively complicated issue. It is an environment where there are dynamic changes in both flow and temperature in time and space, two quantities that directly affect the heat flow.
