The NCFRC’s Intent on Class B Fuel Use:The NCFRC’s Intent on Class B Fuel Use:
• Class B fuel may be pre-applied to the prop, the ceiling above the prop, as well as to any wall in the room prior to ignition. Care should be taken to avoid placing fuel above the doorway serving as the room egress or allowing excessive fuel to fall to the floor as these indicate an inappropriate use of class B fuels. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that the term fuel is not limited to only class B liquids. Pallets, straw and other material used to propagate the growth of the fire are considered fuels and should
never be added after ignition.
