NIST report describes approach used by researchers to analyze a major 2011 Texas wildland fire, a system they believe will lead to improved defensive measures and strategies for reducing structural damage and property loss. Researchers used 2-tiered electronic data collection methodology developed by NIST to assess post-fire conditions. This resulted in the most extensive amount of information acquired to date in the aftermath of a WUI fire, approximately 163 GB of data and 29,000+ photographs.
