In firefighting operations, one often-overlooked but critically dangerous factor is thermal bridging. While commonly discussed in the context of energy efficiency and insulation, thermal bridging also has serious implications in fire scenarios — posing hidden threats to responders and significantly influencing fire spread.
Thermal bridging occurs when heat travels through a material that is more conductive than surrounding materials, creating a “bridge” for heat transfer. In buildings, these are typically steel beams, rebar, metal ducts, or even external cladding that bypasses fire-resistant barriers.
In a fire, these thermal bridges can:
For emergency responders, thermal bridging presents three major risks:
While it’s challenging to spot thermal bridging during a fire, here are some indicators:
Fire scenarios are becoming more complex with modern construction materials and methods. Thermal bridging is no longer just an architectural concern — it’s a firefighter safety concern.
To build real-world readiness, train your crew in hazard recognition, building construction awareness, and tactical response to thermal bridging effects.
