| Reference: saddle burn Reference information: Saddle burns normally occur when a flammable liquid is allowed to drip downward from the floor above and onto the floor joist or beam underneath. The flammable liquid soaks into the wooden joist or beam and burns the wooden member away in the characteristic pattern resembling a horse's saddle. Presence of saddle burns was a strong indication that a flammable liquid fire had been spread throughout the house. The saddle burn in Photo 4 was almost textbook-like. Notice how the floor joist is directly beneath the butt-joined plywood sub-floor and the burn damage shows how the wooden floor joist had been burned away by the action of the flammable liquid dripping down onto the floor joist.

| Reference Reference information: Encontrei os termos "ponto de inflexão" e "ponto de sela" como significado de "saddle point". Ambos os termos "inflexão" e "sela" têm um significado ligado a curvas. Não encontrei nenhuma citação sobre estes termo diretamente relacionados a incêndios. De qualquer forma, minha sugestão seria por: - incêndio com característica de inflexão |
