abstract="This paper presents an experimental study of the propagation of mm-wave/low-THz signals in the frequency ranges of 79 and 300 GHz through fire. Radar performance  was investigated in various real scenarios, including fire with strong flame, dense  smoke and water vapour. A stereo video camera and a LIDAR were used as a comparison  with other common types of sensors. The ability of radars to enable the visibility  of objects in fire environments was proven. In all scenarios, the radar signal  attenuation was measured, and in the case of steam was compared with theoretical  calculations. The analysis of the experimental results allows us to conclude that  there are good prospects for millimetre wave and Low Terahertz radar in the field of  firefighting imaging equipment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
