Abstract Information and calculations are given for estimating fire growth in structural fires. Heat release rates from flames, fire growth, ignition of nearby items, and the possibility of flashover are all topics of concern. Empirical equations are given and calculations are exhibited to illustrated these aspects of structural fire behavior.

Abstract A computer-based fire model is a scientific mathematical representation of a fire. Computer simulations incorporate to some degree the many chemical and physical processes taking place. Structural fire behavior is considered with emphasis on fire development (burning rates, radiant ignition, flashover and backdraft), experimental studies and fire modeling (field and zone models).
