Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

Over the last decade several large scale fires occurred in New Zealand slaughter-houses. Some aspects of these fires are reported in detail, mainly the damage to frozen meat. The real fire situations confirm laboratory tests that frozen meat does not propagate fire spread horizontally, packaging materials permit the spread to a limited degree and frozen meat constitutes a low fire risk storage material.
