✦ Synopsis

A stochastic model for compartment fires in buildings is derived from basic physical laws. It consists of just three variables, which form a Markov vector satisfying a stochastic differential equation. The deterministic version of the model can be calibrated to closely mimic more elaborate models. Statistical variability models the intrinsic variability of the flame phenomenon as well as our lack of knowledge of the conditions under which the fire will ultimately develop. ~ 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

We consider a one-compartment system with stochastic transfer rate characterized either by Gaussian or by two-level jump process and study the time evolution of the (statistical) moments of the (random) amount of the substance present in the system. The effect of the coloured as well as of the white
