Predicting Room of Origin Fire Hazards

Abstract

The three examples of applications of the fire hazards analysis considered are intended to represent realistic situations in which the ideas presented in this guide can be used. The examples and the results presented are hypothetical, are illustrative, and do not necessarily correlate precisely. The goal of this section is to demonstrate the process and the interrelation of various aspects of the analysis.
