Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flashover is the term used to describe the point in a fire when all of the combustible materials in a space have reached their ignition temperature and ignite at the same time, causing a rapid and intense fire that can engulf an entire structure. Pyrolysis refers to the chemical breakdown of a material due to heat, while combustion is the process of burning. The flash point is the minimum temperature at which a substance will ignite and spontaneous combustion occurs when a material ignites without an external source of ignition. Only flashover fits the description of all combustible fuels igniting simultaneously to engulf a structure in flames.
