During which stage of a fire would the heat release likely to be controlled by the fuel package size and geometry (i.e. the surface area likely to burn)?
During which stage of a fire would the heat release likely to be controlled by the fuel package size and geometry (i.e. the surface area likely to burn)?
The heat release is likely controlled by the fuel package size and geometry during the Steady-state Stage. At this stage, the fire has reached a consistent burning rate, and the rate of heat release is predominantly influenced by the available fuel and its configuration.
When the heat release rate is basically constant the fire is considered to be in the steady-state stage. Here the heat release rate may be controlled by the fuel package size and geometry (i.e., the surface area available to burn) or by the available ventilation to support combustion (i.e., a ventilationcontrolled fire)
ANS: C
The correct answer is C. Steady-state Stage, this can be found on page 2-52 in the CFPS book.
