CAMP PARKS MASS FIRES.
Abstract
The report summarizes experimental work on the dynamic characteristics of burning buildings, as studied with small plywood models and one full-scale barracks section. Parameters measured include total energy release rate, total thermal radiation, and carbon monoxide concentrations at scaled street levels, as well as carbon monoxide concentrations in a model basement. The ratios of total thermal radiation to total energy release rate at maximum burning time are: for a skirted model, 25 percent; for an unskirted model, 30 percent; and for the full-scale barracks section, 8 percent. The logistics for conducting large building burns is described. (Author)
