An Engineering Analysis Of Fire Development In The Hospice Of Southern Michigan, December 15, 1985

An analysis of the development of fire and flow of smoke in a multifatality fire is presented. The analysis methods used are the least sophisticated available consistent with reasonable accuracy. Fire growth, flashover, preand post-flashover spread of products, and impact on victims are addressed. Issues relative to post-flashover combustion chemistry and post-flashover corridor flow are raised.
