The computed spatial dependence of graybody radiation from a specific cone shape, representative of small fires, showed the greatest radiation intensity directly above the cone. The inverse square law was accurate beyond a distance of three times the maximum cone dimension. Radiation contributed up to 74 percent of the total heat flux with the remainder due to convection. Convective intensity was greatest directly above the flame and negligible beyond 60 degrees from the symmetry axis.
