Thomas, P.H. and Simms, D.L., 1958. ON THE PREVENTION OF FLAME SPREAD BENEATH CEILINGS IN FULLY DEVELOPED FIRES BY ROOF VENTS. Fire Research Notes 376
ABSTRACT
If, in a large compartment, there are curtains extending from the ceiling towards the floor and one of the sub-compartments is involved in fire, flames and heat may spread under the curtain to the next sub-compartment. Some small-scale experiments are reported in which the curtain sizes for different vent conditions to prevent this spread are studied.
