<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The increasing use of engineered solutions results in the need to identify, characterize and quantify design fires for various buildings. The burning characteristics (ingnition, heat release, and flame temperature) of design fires depend on the type, amount, and arrangement of combustible materials (known as fire load), geometry and available ventilation in the room of fire origin, and the ignition source. The type and arrangement of combustibles affect the growth characteristics, while the total amount of fuel and ventilation characteristics in the compartment of fire origin govern the intensity and duration of the fire</abstract>
