About PyroRisk

Mission

PyroRisk exists to share fire and fire safety knowledge with everyone — from a curious kid asking why a candle flickers, to a deep researcher studying thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Fire is one of the oldest technologies humans live with, and one of the most misunderstood. Knowledge about it should be accessible to everybody, not locked behind paywalls, jargon, or specialist training.

This site distills research, testing, and engineering knowledge into articles you can actually read — clear enough for a beginner, rigorous enough for a professional.

About the author

I'm Duy Cuong DINH, a fire safety researcher and postdoctoral fellow at Université de Poitiers, Institut Pprime. My work focuses on battery fire safety, thermal runaway, and fire testing methodology.

How this site is written and funded

I research every article, draft it with the help of AI writing tools, check each claim against a source that is linked in the text, and review the whole piece before it goes live. The editorial policy explains the process, how corrections work, and how AI is used. PyroRisk is free to read and may be supported by display ads; advertisers have no say in what is written. The articles are for education, not professional advice (see the disclaimer).
