[GSBN] Light Straw fire test?

[Chris Magwood]

Josh Thornton's Initial Material Characterization for Light Clay/Straw 
was published by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and is 
available for free on their web site 
http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/odpub/pdf/63928.pdf?lang=en. I don't have my 
copy in front of me, but I believe it had some fire testing in the report.
