Which factor is NOT typically related to the formation of the V Pattern?

The formation of the V Pattern in fire investigation is a significant indicator of the fire's origin and growth. This pattern occurs due to the way heat and flames move and interact with the environment, particularly in a room or structure. One of the main contributing factors to the V Pattern is the presence of natural drafts, such as wind or thermal currents, which can influence how the flames spread. Understanding fire growth is also essential, as the intensity and direction of the fire's progression will impact how the V Pattern develops.

Access points like doors and windows play a crucial role in the movement of fire and smoke, as they can either allow or restrict airflow, further contributing to the formation of these patterns.

Firefighter response time, however, does not directly affect the formation of the V Pattern. While it may impact the outcomes of a fire incident, such as the extent of damage or the ability to extinguish the fire, it does not influence the patterns created by the fire itself during its growth and spread. Thus, it is correct that firefighter response time is not typically related to the formation of the V Pattern.
