| | | | | | | | | | | |
competent ignition source.
| | |
Vehicle Fires - correct answers ✅The most common source of an open
| | | | | | | | | | |
flame in a vehicle is an exhaust system backfire out of a carburetor.

| | | | | | | | | |
piece of debris.
| | |
Fire effects/ fire patterns - correct answers ✅Char shrinks as it forms. More
| | | | | | | | | | | |
reliable for evaluating fire spread, deduce the direction based on depth,
| | | | | | | | | | |
large shiny blisters (alligatoring) is not evidence of the use of an accelerant.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fire effects/fire patterns - correct answers ✅Spalling: loss of surface
| | | | | | | | |
material due to cracking, breaking, chipping, breakdown in surface tensile
