Allow me to start with I did not participate in the soon to be decried test 
fire and do not know the specifics off the top of my head.  Nonetheless, fire 
test of mattresses stacked on their side were being tested to see if they could 
reduce the hazard classification (due to the ignition resistance from 
cigarette).  Some participants were betting it would be as a maximum a Class 
II.  It was another case of having to rapidly attack the fire with manual hoses 
because it exceeded the HRH of the test apparatus.  A many megawatt fire.  
Needless to say, the guy betting it would be no more than a Class II bought 
dinner.
