Abstract:
The first version of a method for predicting the hazards
to occupants involved in a building fire is described.
The method and available computer software, called
HAZARD I, can predict the time varying environment
within a building resulting from a specified fire; the
locations and actions of occupants; and the impact of
the exposure of each of the occupants to the fire
products in terms of whether the occupants successfully
escape, are incapacitated, or are killed.
