This report summarizes the work performed by Numerical Applications, Inc. on LANL subcontract 3876L0013-9Q. The primary objectives of this work were to generalize the fire compartment interface in the IBM PC version of FIRAC and to couple FIRAC with the CFAST computer code. The resulting FIRAC/CFAST computer code would combine the ventilation system and particulate transport modeling capabilities of FIRAC with the fire room modeling capabilities of CFAST. Additional project objectives included debugging FIRAC to correct errors that had been reported by the FIRAC-PC evaluators and evaluating requirements for modifying the FIRAC preprocessor and postprocessor to work with the combined code
