Abstract
In spite of a building constructed entirely from non-combustible materials, it still possesses a high of the potential of fire hazard because of the combustibilities of furniture and goods within the building. Several fire experiments were sponsored by the Building Research Institute in which the following four experiments were related to interior finish materials.
