- Abstract
- The United States Air Force has expended considerable effort during the past year to enhance the fire safety aspects of ground based simulators which use oxygen enriched atmospheres in research, testing and hyperbaric therapy. This paper will discuss improvements which have been made in removing combustible materials, in removing ignition sources, and in providing fire extinguishing systems. Improved noncombustible materials will be demonstrated. Slides and movies of the fire extinguishing systems will be shown.
