- Abstract
- Historically, fire research has been directed towards protection of buildings with little thought having been given to th building contents. However, in recent years more emphasis has been placed on the assessment of fire hazards from furniture and has been engaged in a broad programme of research aimed at significantly reducing fire losses in the United States.
