 fires. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-214, 12 p. Intermt.

Describes a vertical, cylindrical fuel array that requires less fuel 

 and less time to set up and to measure combustion rates than the flat 

 fuel arrays used previously in laboratory studies of fire. Rates of com- 

 bustion were comparable in horizontally and vertically (downward) 

 spreading experimental fires. 



KEYWORDS: fire spread, excelsior fuel, burning rate, load-loss rate, 

 fire behavior.
