Abstract

Five full-scale fire experiments on 3.49-ton pickup trucks with goods are described. The test variables used were the two kinds of goods - plastic barrels and wood pallets - and the two ignition positions - on the seat and at bottom center of the goods - in order to determine the basic burning behaviors of loaded pickup trucks. In addition, the fire compartment concept was adopted by covering the goods with a fire-resistant blanket and the goods were placed in. an iron trough. It is shown in two fire compartment concept tests that both wood and plastic goods continue to smolder with no blaze observed after ignition. The fire-resistant blanket and the iron trough in concert, are proved to be effective in fire control, reducing the radiation coming out of the burning goods and preventing the fire from spreading.
