The Science Behind Fire Behavior In fire safety training, small-scale “dollhouse” simulations demonstrate how air movement and ventilation can drastically influence how a fire behaves. These controlled experiments highlight the importance of door control, airflow, and ventilation in determining the intensity and spread of flames. An open door supplies oxygen, allowing the fire to grow rapidly — while a closed door can limit oxygen and slow its progress significantly. Even the smallest actions, l
