Fire Spread Model

This paper describes the development of a GIS-based dynamic fire-spread model, with seven distinct modes of fire spread: direct contact, spontaneous ignition of claddings, piloted ignition of claddings, spontaneous ignition through windows, piloted ignition through broken windows, fire spread via non-fire-rated roofs and branding. All except the first two modes include in-built probabilities, but these can be selected individually and given user-defined values. Fire spread modes can be added to the model or altered to suit available building information. Critical details of buildings are obtained from an existing-buildings database, street surveys, or deduced using conditional probabilities from available data. Results show that comparison with actual fires is reasonable. The model could be extended with further development for use as a real time firefighting tool.

Piloted Ignition

A comparative study of thermal degradation of painted and unpainted parti cle board specimens has been carried out. Experiments based mainly on the measurements of piloted ignition delay, mass loss rate and temperature profile have been performed using a radiative heat flux equal to 2.4 W/cm2. Thermo gravimetric analysis has complemented these measurements. It has been shown that thermal degradation of paints produces a solid residue which strongly affects exchange phenomena at the wood surface and consequently the thermal behavior of wood.
