In this study, data from a series of 32 fire tests and 11 nuisance tests is referenced
from the Home Smoke Fire Detector Project [6]. The fire and nuisance test matrix is
shown in Table 1. The fire tests include six smoldering items of furniture, six flaming
items of furniture, six smoldering mattresses, ten flaming mattresses, and four
flaming grease fires. The fire sources are chosen to represent typical fatal residential
fire scenarios. The mattress fires are conducted in the main bedroom. The
upholstered furniture fires are conducted in the living room, and the grease fires
are conducted in the kitchen.
