Abstract
NRL collected data on the concentration levels attained by carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen during a number of free-burning fires of different sizes (2, 7, 15, 50 and 100 cm diameter). The duration of most fires was approximately thirty minutes. Each fire consisted of three phases: start-up, burning, and suppression. The burning periods, determined via the examination of the gas concentration level-time plots, were based on an interval around the midpoint of the sequence of observations. To aid NRL in its research, Desmatics conducted a statistical analysis of gas concentration build-up and depletion rates during the burning period.
