A total of 30 fires, either smoldering or flaming, were generated to test the fire alarm algorithm described above. Combustible materials included samples of HDPE beads, PVC clad wire, mixed plastics, mixed fabric, and green canvas. Liquid fuels included methanol, heptane, and toluene. The samples were ignited using different methods depending on the type of material. Liquid fuels were ignited using a lighter. Other materials were ignited using a glowbar or a small pilot flame from a butane torch. Two to three burn tests were conducted for each material, and two methods of ignition were used for some of the materials. Table 1 shows the list of materials tested, the ignition method employed, and the type of fires generated.
