Some Observations on Building Corridor Fires
Full-scale corridor fire experiments designed to evaluate the potential fire hazard of floor covering materials exposed to a room fire are described. A phenomenological account of events leading to rapid fire propagation along the corridor is presented for one experiment. Mechanisms responsible for the rapid fire propagation, termed flameover, are explored through measurements and analysis of the data. Causative factors of flameover appear to be the increase in flame height of the floor fire, and a reduction of air supply to the burn room. Accompanying conditions are discussed.
