Abstract:

The contribution of Professor J. G. Quintiere into the field of fire protection is introduced and discussed, and as it is difficult to evaluate his whole contribution into the field which is divided into various topics, this document examines his contribution into the field of compartment fire behaviour, and in more precise scope it considers his researches and findings of the flashover phenomena through selected papers that were published in the 1980’s.

These papers were viewed briefly but technically, and have been critically analysed in order to examine their contribution to the area chosen for the scope of this document, its applications and how it would be used is also discussed, and finally how this paper influenced further work in relation
