Abstract
The purpose with the thesis is to compare reasons to why fire-related spreads occur in apartment buildings and examine the significanse for the extent of property damage. The aim is to provide a basis for judging the risk of property loss and need of improved property safety in case of fire in the apartment buildings. The report has shown that several spreads have occurred through the apartment door to the stairwell, often in the form of smoke. The result also shows that the building material is rarely critical to fire safety. It is not necessarily a heightened risk of spread between compartments due to burnable building materials like cellular plastic insulation or wood alone. However, there are trends in the analysis showing that the... (More)

The report has shown that several spreads have occurred through the apartment door to the stairwell, often in the form of smoke. The result also shows that the building material is rarely critical to fire safety. It is not necessarily a heightened risk of spread between compartments due to burnable building materials like cellular plastic insulation or wood alone. However, there are trends in the analysis showing that the material could be of greater significance in larger fires, but it is difficult to determine from the limited sample used in the thesis.
