Fundamental Fire Properties of Combustible Materials

D. D. Drysdale

The use of the term 'fundamental fire property' in relation to a combustible material is misleading in that it suggests that measurements can be made of certain physico-chemical properties that determine unambiguously how that material will behave under fire conditions. In this paper, an attempt is made to clarify this issue and identify a number of fundamental properties that influence fire behavior.
