Anatomy of a Fire

Synopsis
A tribunal of enquiry asked the Fire Research Station to investigate a fire at the Stardust Club in Dublin in 1981 in which 48 young people died. The video shows the many FRS tests culminating in a simulation on a full-scale reconstruction of part of the club showing the rapidity with which the fire developed.
