- Abstract
- With United States residential fire statistics as a guideline, this report briefly focuses on the status of research in a few select areas. These include floor coverings, interior wall coverings, and mattresses/bedding. Only in the case of wall coverings are there models which come close to adequately describing real world fire behavior.
