D: In private dwellings constructed with lightweight materials, when fire extends from the building’s contents to its structural components, collapse may occur within 5 to 10 minutes.
C: For fires in “traditional” private dwellings built of ordinary/wood frame construction, when there is no ceiling to provide protection, therefore exposing structural components, failure can occur within 30-45 minutes.
For fires in “traditional” private dwellings built of ordinary/wood frame construction, when there is no ceiling to provide protection, therefore exposing structural components, failure can occur within 20 minutes.
