Fire exposure of people in Shelters

Broido, A. / McMasters, A.W.

Tests sponsored by Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization in structures to be demolished in California and one large-scale burn of 9 acres with estimated fuel loading of 900 tons oven-dry weight; conducted by Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, US Dept of Agriculture; results show that extreme carbon monoxide concentrations may be expected in large scale fires burning out of doors; simulated intake vents were installed and measurements taken of temperatures, oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations; description and results given of burn of 100-man prototype underground shelter constructed by US Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at Camp Parks.
