The report presents analyses of police accident reports, fire department run reports and other data on motor vehicle collision fires and submergences. Analytical modeling and other analytical techniques are provided for predicting escape times from passenger cars and buses, for predicting vehicle collision-submergence water-entry conditions and sinking times, and for estimating strength available for the operation of escape exits. Other techniques allow prediction of ignition times and burning rates of vehicle interior materials. A considerable amount of other data related to vehicle interior (enclosure) fire behavior and toxic product generation, flammable characteristics of various fabrics and interior materials, fuel modification, effectiveness of fire extinguishers, and fuel system design practices are also included.
