Firebrand generators are a relatively new tool used to research firebrands in a lab environment. The goal of the project was to create a user-friendly, inexpensive firebrand generator to produce firebrands comparable to wildland urban interface (WUI) fires, to facilitate further research in WUI spread. Individual firebrand velocity and size were measured with image processing methods to prove the effectiveness of the generator. The generator detailed in this report is a highly accessible device, able to recreate firebrand showers in both lab and field applications.
