ABSTRACT
In the context of the relationship between the fire safety engineer and the fire scientist a few scientific and engineering problems are discussed. Some comments are made about engineering theories of plumes and flames and a dimensionless correlation of the length of flames from a corner source under a ceiling is presented. Fire safety engineers may now be able to exploit a thermal theory of upward flame spread using data obtained by recently developed flammability tests.
