Multi-scale modelling is a novel approach to fire modelling in situations where the size of the domain prevents it from being modelled completely in 3D. By splitting the domain in a 1D and 3D portion multi-scale modelling allows for much faster simulations which still adhere to the correct boundary conditions. In this thesis the multi-scale methodology is applied to the LHC accelerator in use at C
