Passenger vehicle fires are part of everyday life. Every year an increasing number of such fires and the damage growth contribute to increasing the intensity of the survey causes the development of fire vehicle and vehicle behaviour during combustion. The resources available for research during a fire are given to a group of Japanese scientists who published their finding in the journal "Fire Safety Journal". The research was aimed to drive sedan category. Authors summarize the results in four types of experiments; where then describe the temperature, heat flux, and deformation phenomena achieved in a fire. Europe, similar research done on the car and its products, but that information and the measured data wasn.t publishing. The article presents the results of experimental burning of cars in real life. Under real conditions in the experiments considered standing vehicles on 4 wheels in a horizontal position, and measured the initial environmental conditions (weather conditions). The solutions of grant tasks were performed 10 trials in 5 experiments. For each test was initiated by the fire in the engine compartment and passenger compartment, which were dealt with several sub-tasks. The main task was to describe the sequence of initiation of combustion in the engine compartment with a focus on measuring the temperature during combustion. Another sub-task was to investigate the flame skipping from vehicle to vehicle when stopped in the parking lot, and the interior and exterior. During the tests were measured in the temperature dependence of burning time. The results were then used in a computer simulation of fire development in cars.

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań pożarów samochodów osobowych w warunkach realnych. W ramach grantu wykonano pięć badań, po dwie próby w każdym. W poszczególnych próbach pożar inicjowano w obrębie silnika albo w przestrzeni dla pasażerów. Kolejnym zadaniem cząstkowym było badanie przeskakiwania płomienia z samochodu na samochód podczas parkowania w przestrzeniach zamkniętych, jak i otwartych. Podczas badań dokonywano pomiaru temperatury w zależności od czasu. Wyniki zostały wykorzystane w symulacji rozwoju pożaru samochodu osobowego.
