Jan 1, 2012 · Fire patterns are the principal artifacts that fire investigators use to trace the origin and development of a fire. Correct determination of the origin depends on the correct interpretation of...

Plume-Generated Patterns Fire patterns can result from several different kinds of int-eractions between the fire and its surroundings. The best-understood interactions are those that occur between the fire plume and a nearby vertical surface. Such patterns are often called ‘truncated cone patterns.’ (Fire investigators refer to

Fire effects can be three dimensional. Look for large‐scale patterns such as aerial views of the roof. Look for small‐scale patterns such as heat effects on wiring insulation. Examine all areas in a building for patterns.

Fire patterns are defined as the distinct marks left on surfaces by the fire. These burn patterns can be seen on the floors, ceilings, walls, and other objects on the scene. The patterns are created due to heat transfer, airflow dynamics, and fuel consumption.

Jan 1, 2016 · Flames are conical; therefore, a burn pattern made by a flame against a vertical plane (wall) will have a conical shape-think of it as the flame shape of a campfire. Conversely, the heat/smoke...

May 28, 2015 · These studies focused on fire pattern reproducibility, pattern persistence through flashover, the use of fire patterns in origin determination and the influence of initial, low HRR fuel on fire pattern production.

When the fire is new, the pattern on an adjacent vertical surface will assume the shape of the flame, and will exhibit what fire investigators call an inverted cone pattern. This triangular pattern is characteristic of young fires.
