Issued: September 30, 2008 8. TASK 5 – DESIGN FIRE SCENARIO - FREEBURN TESTING OF LIVING ROOM SPACE 8.1 GENERAL UL designed and constructed a simulated fire setting to represent living areas that included a nominal 14x14x 8ft. height living area with open doorways at each end of the room to provide natural ventilation. A nominal 6ft. wide x 14ft. long hallway was constructed adjacent to the living area and connected with one of the two living area doorways. The living area setting was furnished with upholstered furniture, wood tables, plastic toys, lighting, wall painting and other typical furnishings. The fire scenario was allowed to progress past flashover conditions. Tests were conducted to characterize the structural fire heat release and fire growth. Instrumentation monitored temperatures and heat release rate and identified when fire control had occurred. Temperatures and smoke were monitored at the doorway and hallway opening to examine the ambient conditions that would be experienced by the firefighter. 8.2 TEST FACILITY The fire tests were conducted at Underwriters Laboratories large-scale fire test facility located in Northbrook, Illinois. 8.2.1 Large-Scale Fire Test Building The large-scale fire test building used for this investigation houses four fire test areas that are used to develop data on the fire growth and fire suppression characteristics of commodities, as well as the fire suppression characteristics of automatic water sprinkler systems. A schematic of the test facility is shown in Figure 16. Page 24 of 55
