Thank you for joining us as we simultaneously ignited 2 full scale 12'x14' Dorm Rooms and contained a fire to the room of origin using new second generation technology in fire resistant paint developed for the military. The dorm rooms were completed with actual dorm room furniture donated by Northeastern University. One room was coated with this new technology in fire resistant paint and the other with standard latex paint. Additionally we have tested 2 smaller 4'x6' rooms with exposed walls and ceiling joists. This second burn further tested passive fire protection with new technology in fire resistant data cables from AlphaGary Company, and other fire stopping materials. Along with fire resistant cable management devices from 3M Firestop Division. All the materials exceeded exceeded expections under extreme fire condition
