I hope someone can help me find an extremely useful video. I've searched the usual portals without success so I'm hoping another member may have seen and know where I can find it. The video shows a fire developing from a fan heater positioned under a desk where the airflow has been blocked by a folder falling onto it . It has a stopwatch running in the corner of the screen and demonstrates how fast a small desk fire can spread and engulf a room with acrid smoke. It was a staged clip which I think I saw at a London Fire Brigade run Fire Risk Assessment course some years ago but they too cant track it down. Can anyone help?

Thanks Martin, however this isn't the particular one I was looking for. The one I saw involved an office set up with a corner desk, a big black chair in front and a fan heater which had been covered by paper whilst on. The whole video took no more than 5 minutes.

I think I have a copy of the one your looking for but I'm not sure if my system will let me email it as an attachment (it's 403mb). PM me your email address and I'll give it a go.
