Grant to Fund Virtual Fire Simulations and Fire-Safety Research at Morgan State

Do people react differently to a fire in a kitchen versus one in a bedroom? That's the kind of question a Morgan State professor hopes to answer, with the goal of improving home fire safety. With the help of a $596,383 grant from the National Science Foundation - the first of its kind for an HBCU - Morgan State University will recruit participants to react and make decisions based on software-simulated building fires.
