| Abstract | It is recognized that factors other than flammability of lining materials -- ventilation, the nature and distribution of the contents and geometry of a compartment -- can materially affect the development of a fire. When these are equal, however, fire will develop more rapidly in the compartment having the more flammable lining. The selection of materials for the interior linings of buildings is therefore an important consideration; it affects not only the safety of property but also the safety of the occupants. The hazard exists, as well, for those in other areas who may be trapped by a rapidly spreading fire. |
