Abstract
The fire spread route is strongly dependent on the distribution of combustible materials. This paper described the experimental results of flame spread tests along randomly distributed combustible cubes. Flame spread experiments conducted with changing porosity and ignition position. Flame spread probability at random ignition position is higher than that at corner ignition with same porosity. Burned area differed with a changing ignition position under the same test sample placement.
