| Summary: | The test shows that the combination of the fire retardant materials did withstand the type of fire anticipated in a typical trailer, minimizing damage and losses to the facility. The possibility of a total loss due to fire in a structure built of these materials would be reduced significantly if fuel loading does not exceed 14 pounds. Also, the combination of fire retardant materials did not create dangerous outgassing or the possibility of explosion due to vapor mixture. Additionally, the test establishes a base of information that can be used for comparison, if other labeled materials were chosen for construction. The original mock-up structure was not affected by the testing; therefore, future experiments could be conducted at considerably reduced costs to the experimenters. |
