Abstract
A fire scenario is defined in ISO 13943 [1] as a “qualitative description of the course of a fire with respect to time, identifying key elements that characterize the studied fire and differentiate it from other possible fires.” In addition, a fire scenario “typically defines the ignition and fire growth processes, the fully developed fire stage, the fire decay stage, and the environment and systems that will impact on the course of the fire.”
