Shortly after the turn of the last century, the cellulosic fire time/temperature curve was developed to assess the performance and safety of building materials and passive fire resistive materials. It was the cutting edge for its time. But, according to Chris Burst, the composition and contents of our built environment today prove its time has run out.
Also in the episode, Toby isn’t sure he’s never seen a ghost, and Chris tells a bad joke.
