"No space agency has had the opportunity to study a spacecraft fire of anything larger than an index card in long-term low gravity," David Urban, principal investigator of the Saffire experiment, said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters.
Urban said the first Saffire experiment, which occurred in June, showed how the flames "spread in the direction of wind very steady and surprisingly slow."

Have the staff at NASA watch the Star Wars huge satellite of death burn and blow up, from the first shown movie. That should let them know enough about Fires in Space.
