Abstract |
The authors examined the remains of fifty structures destroyed in the October, 1991 fire in the hills east of Oakland, California. Traditional indicators of abnormal fire behavior were examined in each of the structures, including apparently melted steel items, melted copper, and melted as well as crazed glass. These indicators were found to have no probative value as to the presence of liquid accelerants, abnormally heavy fuel loads, or abnormally high temperatures. |
