Exterior building fire spread occurs in three basic ways. One scenario considers fire spread from one building to an adjoining building separated by a wall or barrier. In this case the fire spread occurs when fire exposure to the wall or barrier and any protected openings has sufficient duration and intensity to negate the integrity of the fire wall/barrier or any protected openings. Additionally, flame extension (often exacerbated by wind) above the roof or around the edges the fire barrier/wall can cause the fire to spread to the adjoining building by radiation, direct flame contact or possibly burning brands. The construction of walls, physical features and the various materials and components that are used to create the weather enclosure for a building will impact how heat and flame may be transferred between buildings or along the exterior faOade of a building. This Chapter discusses all these factors and reviews several well-known incidents of exterior building fire spread.
