Smoke as a Determinant of Human Behavior in Fire Situations (Project People)

J. L. Bryan

This study involved the interviewing of 584 occupants of buildings on fire by fire department officials at the scene of the fire incident. The analysis and study of the interview data involved the determination of the critical variables relative to the fire incident (e.g. area of fire origin), participant population parameters (e.g. location at time of awareness there was a fire) and the first, second and third actions of the participants after becoming aware of the fire incident. Statistical analyses were performed showing the relationship among the variables. Results were compared with those of a similar study conducted in England.
