- Abstract
- This paper is concerned with the approach to understand the fire progress systematically. We know now that there are some patterns of this progress, and discontinuous development like flash-over may occur during a fire, but out knowledges on fire are generally so fragmentary that they can hardly be applied to a systematic planning of fire safety.
