Engineering Analysis of the Early Stages of Fire Development - The Fire at the Dupont Plaza Hotel and Casino - December 31, 1986
The report presents the methods and results of an analytical analysis of the fire development through the first and second floors during the December 31, 1986 fire in the Dupont Plaza Hotel and Casino, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The analysis involved the use of fire growth models, engineering formula, and technical data. The report details the procedures and data used, the reason for those selected, and the results obtained. The analysis addressed mass burning rate, rate of heat release, smoke temperature, smoke layer depth, velocity of smoke/flame front, mass products in smoke layer, oxygen concentration in smoke layer, visibility in smoke layer, flame length/extension, flame spread, sprinkler response, smoke detector response, and fire duration. The areas of the building analyzed include the ballroom complex to the areas where most of the deaths occurred. The report does not address smoke movement above the first floor, the conditions that caused the deaths of three persons caught in an elevator, or the conditions that caused the death of one victim in a guest room on the fourth floor.
