Flammable and Combustible Liquid Spill/Burn Patterns, NIJ Report 604-00

March 2001
This NIJ Guide provides a means for fire investigators to predict the quantity of spill necessary to produce a fire pattern of a particular size. It also includes measurements of spill fire heat release rates that provide previously unavailable data for fire modeling and fire scenario evaluation. The report investigates the spill burning behavior of gasoline and kerosene on vinyl tile, wood parquet, and carpet floors.
