- Abstract
- The goal of this work was to analyze and observe, in a realitic home setting, fire development from ignition through full room involvement, and the subsequent extinguishment of fire. A full-scale bedroom facility, similar to that used in the first Home Fire Project bedroom test, was selected and furnished in typical fashion with a resulting fuel load of 4.0 lb/sq ft of floor area.
