Note 1 to entry: See fire scenario cluster and representative fire scenario. Note 2 to entry: It typically defines the ignition and fire growth processes, the fully developed fire stage, the fire decay stage, and the environment and systems that will impact on the course of the fire. Note 3 to entry: Unlike deterministic fire analysis, where fire scenarios are individually selected and used as design fire scenario, in fire risk assessment, fire scenarios are used as representative fire scenarios within fire scenario clusters.
