ABSTRACT<\/p>\n
Fire pattern analysis is a fundamental step in any fire investigation, since it provide the basis for the heat\u00a0and flame vector analysis onto which the reconstruction of fire spread and the identification of the area of\u00a0origin of the fire are based. Fire patterns formation depends on the fire effects being produced by the fire.\u00a0This works discuss some of the differences between building construction in North America and\u00a0Southern Europe, on the basis of the example of Italy, and try to tackle the problem if such differences\u00a0may affects the type of fire patterns that are found in a fire scene.<\/p>\n
