These tests have been conducted as part of casework, independent research projects, and research as part of the Certified Fire Investigator (CFI) candidate program. The experiments in this database include a range of tests from single-item fuel packages up to full-scale fire tests in a multi-story structure.

Note: Certain commercial entities, equipment, materials, or services may be identified in this database to describe an experimental procedure or concept adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by the ATF Fire Research Laboratory, nor discrimination against similar entities, equipment, materials, or services not mentioned.
