✦ Synopsis

This communication examines the findings from a survey of fire tests carried out in New Zealand. The survey compares the quoted Fire Resistance Ratings with the times at which the structures actually failed for different failure criteria. In particular, the differences between insulation and integrity failure for light timber-framed structures are discussed. The apparent imbalance between possible failure modes has implications for those involved in the analysis of structural fire safety.

## Abstract The three basic modelling approaches used to explain forest fire behaviour are theoretically, laboratory or empirically based. Results of all three approaches are reviewed, but it is noted that only the laboratory‐ and empirically based models have led to forecasting techniques that are
