Abstract
The purpose of this program was to investigate the use of models for the study of fire spread and the use of modeling techniques for defining those factors which contribute to the development of mass fires. The scope of the program was later expanded to demonstrate the practicability for a new concept for the nondestructive modeling of mass fires. It is concluded that mass fires cannot be modeled with information now available.
