A study is made of existing fire protection at representative AMC type warehouses as a basis for the development of new protection criteria. Three fire tests involving typical Air Force warehouse fuels and hazard conditions 1 demonstrated the inadequacy of existing protection, and 2 provided additional data for subsequent evaluation of alternatives for upgrading protection.
