Nelson, H.E., 1989. An Engineering Analysis Of Fire Development In The Hospice Of Southern Michigan, December 15, 1985. Fire Safety Science 2: 927-938. doi:10.3801/IAFSS.FSS.2-927
ABSTRACT
An analysis of the development of fire and flow of smoke in a multi-fatality fire is presented. The analysis methods used are the least sophisticated available consistent with reasonable accuracy. Fire growth, flashover, pre- and post-flashover spread of products, and impact on victims is addressed. Issues relative to post-flashover combustion chemistry and post-flashover corridor flow are raised.
