Sec. 102-80.150  What is meant by ``reasonable worst case fire scenario''?

    Reasonable worst case fire scenario means a combination of an 
ignition source, fuel items, and a building location likely to produce a 
fire which would have a significant adverse impact on the building and 
its occupants. The development of reasonable worst case scenarios must 
include consideration of types and forms of fuels present (e.g., 
furniture, trash, paper, chemicals), potential fire ignition locations 
(e.g., bedroom, office, closet, corridor), occupant capabilities (e.g., 
awake, intoxicated, mentally or physically impaired), numbers of 
occupants, detection and suppression system adequacy and reliability, 
and fire department capabilities. A quantitative analysis of the 
probability of occurrence of each scenario and combination of events 
will be necessary.
