A. the high temperatures developed activate sprinkler heads.
B. smoldering embers restart a fire presumed to be extinguished.
C. flames from one roof jump to the next building's roof, igniting it.
D. all materials or surfaces in a space reach combustion temperature at once.
E. oxygen is reintroduced to a fire's oxygen-starved product gases causing a backdraft explosion event.
AnswerD. all materials or surfaces in a space reach combustion temperature at once. Although debate still exists on these terms, flashover is distinguished from backdraft in that backdraft is an explosion and flashover is not.
