FLAMESOL is owned by Fire Protection Association Australia (FPA Australia) and offers a range of bushfire tools and calculators enabling users to assess multiple design options by modifying basic and advanced inputs into complex bushfire models.
The Bushfire Attack Level lookup tool (BAL lookup tool) is an AS 3959-2018 Method 1 lookup tool which will determine the relevant BAL using the simplified procedure in AS 3959.
Launch this toolThe Bushfire Attack Level calculator (BALc) is an AS 3959-2018 Method 2 (Appendix B) calculator which will determine a radiant heat exposure level and BAL. The BALc allows for all basic and advanced inputs to be modified as required.
Launch this toolThe Minimum Distance calculator (MDc) is an AS3959-2018 Method 2 (Appendix B) based calculator which will determine the minimum distances required to achieve a range of different radiant heat levels (represented by BAL's). The MDc allows for all basic and advanced inputs to be modified as required.
Launch this toolThe Radiant Heat Barrier calculator (RHBc) is an AS3959-20018 Method 2 (Appendix B) based calculator which will determine an exposure level and BAL when there is a radiant heat barrier (fence, other building etc) between the threat and asset. The RHBc allows for all basic and advanced inputs to be modified as required.
Launch this toolWe offer two simple 12 month access packages to the full versions of the above tools and these are shown in the table below.
Please note that the Standard Package is only available to regulators, individuals who have Bushfire Planning & Design Accreditation or company's who employ such an individual. Company or regulator access includes access for up to 4 individuals per subscription.
