The investigation focuses on the transport of carbon monoxide (CO) away from a burning compartment and the conditions necessary for the existence of fatally high concentrations of CO at remote locations. During the past year, the research has concentrated on the transport of CO away from a reduced-scale burning compartment located on the side of the end of a hallway. High levels of CO were transported to remote locations by limiting the air entrainment into the plume of compartment fire gases entering the hallway. The non-uniform transport of combustion gases down the hallway explains the locations of fatalities in previously reported fires.
