PROJECT FLAMBEAU...AN INVESTIGATION OF MASS FIRE (1964-1967). VOLUME 1

Abstract

Project Flambeau was an exploratory study into mass fire behavior. The objectives of Project Flambeau were to: Determine the minimum size of fire and fuel loading at which mass fire, and particularly fire storm effects, occur, so as to provide a 'standard' mass fire for future and more sophisticated studies; Explore the instrumentation problem in mass fire research, and develop instrumentation for such experimental work; Acquire as much quantitative information as possible on fire systems, particularly in those areas of primary interest to civil defense problems; and Test the validity of he descriptive model of a simple mass fire system.
