Answer 0

Excess of 1100 degrees F

Compartment fire

Question 1

Decay stage

Answer 1

Characterized by:
Either decrease in fuel load or available o2
Results in lower temps and lower pressure

Question 2

By controlling flow path you will limit additional o2 into space thereby limiting

Answer 2

1. Fire development
2. Heat release rate
3. Smoke production

Also control release smoke and heat out of structure

Question 3

Fully developed stage

Answer 3

Fire reached peak heat release within compartment
Usually occurs after flashover
Floor to ceiling burning

Question 4

Heat release rate

Answer 4

Rate at which energy is generated by burning of fuel and o2 mi

Question 5

Answer 5

Growth stage

Question 6

What is a indicator that flashover may be imminent ?

Answer 6

Rollover

Question 7
