The first photo (right) shows the cabinet after the fire. The scorch on the right side of the cabinet was caused by the burning fridge (at the seat of the fire). The mark at the top of the door was caused by burning material (eg. plastic light fitting) which dripped on to the cabinet and continued to burn.

The second photo (below) shows the upper door frame and cabinet interior. Although burning material has dripped into the lap seal above the door, there is no sign of any flame within the cabinet, and the interior paint finish is in original glossy condition. Soot has outlined the storage bottles on the shelf. Although the soot was drawn into the cabinet by the ventilation fan, anti-flash vents have prevented flames from entering the cabinet.

In conclusion:

• In a real test the Trafalgar cabinet isolated a large quantity of flammable solvents from the fire, even in close proximity to the seat of ignition.
  
• The Trafalgar cabinet substantially reduced the intensity of the fire.
  
• The anti-flash vents have allowed the Trafalgar cabinet to breathe but still prevented internal fire.
  
• The baked enamel paint on the Trafalgar cabinet has not participated in the fire. Only paint in direct contact with flames was scorched.
  
• The Trafalgar cabinet remains structurally sound after the fire.
