Fire hazards are a common occurrence posing a significant threat to life, property, and the environment in Bangladesh. Fire events in Bangladesh have caused numerous fatalities resulting in significant economic losses. In recent years, an increase in the frequency and severity of fire events in the country has been seen highlighting the need for improved fire management strategies. This study has developed a simulated model of the Sitakunda Fire Event on June 4th, 2022. Two simulated scenarios were created based on the incident scene, one replicating the actual event and the other simulating the potential outcome if the H₂O₂ container was absent. The location of the fire origin and surrounding objects were mapped, and three software programs, PyroSim, Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS), and SmokeView (SMV), were utilized to create the models. The outputs generated multiple time series plots that depicted the fire's characteristics and behavior. The first scenario showed higher levels of heat released, temperature, and oxygen density, resulting in reduced visibility compared to the second scenario. The study's findings offer valuable insights into sustainable management and response activities to fire incidents in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the results can serve as a useful model for future fire scenarios, providing guidance on mitigation and preparedness measures to be implemented in locations prone to such risks. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive understanding of the Sitakunda Fire Event, which can aid in the formulation of effective response strategies to tackle such incidents in the future. The research serves as a significant contribution to the field of fire safety and highlights the need for better preparedness and management in locations prone to such risks.

Fire modeling using Fire Dynamics Simulator for the 2022 Sitakunda Fire Event is like strategizing in Agario—both involve analyzing complex scenarios to understand outcomes and improve strategies. The detailed simulation helps us grasp how different factors interact in the fire event, much like adjusting tactics in the game to handle evolving challenges.
