Abstract
ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH Up to now about 200 test fire were made. The results have shown that up to the test height the dependence of height of the measuring signal of the ionized chamber is stronger marked than the measured extinction length. The influence of cosmic rays is less significant according to other surrounding parameters, e.g., temperature, air pressure, etc. The fire behavior differs with increasing sea level significantly from lower levels. The speed of consumption and smoke development are decreasing enormously with higher sea level by the same original fire load at different sea levels.
