Enclosure fires covers fire behaviour within rooms and other enclosed spaces. Articles examine how fuel, ventilation, openings and heated boundaries interact during a compartment fire, including the formation of a hot gas layer and the transition to flashover.
The category includes fuel-controlled and ventilation-controlled fires, post-flashover conditions, smoke filling and flows through openings. It also addresses phenomena such as backdraft, rollover and external flaming. These topics provide a basis for understanding how enclosure conditions affect fire development, smoke accumulation and the exposure of neighbouring spaces and structural elements.
