In this paper the fire brigade intervention is considered for the assessment of structural fire safety through the concept of a maximal controllable fire area. Based on a literature survey probabilistic models are developed to consider the uncertainties associated with the fire development and the fire brigade intervention. A sensitivity analysis identifies the most important parameters and suggestions for future data collection are made to improve the probabilistic models.
