- Abstract
- [ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] Based on fire experiments held in a two story, multi-room concrete building, dissipation of smoke and heat differed according to opened and closed doors, windows and other barriers. Smoke density increased and set off smoke detecting alarms if a door of room near the fire source was cracked even slightly. Heat detecting alarms were not triggered if some type of barrier was placed between the fire source and the room containing the alarm.
