In any industrial fire, the size of the event is important knowledge as it can guide in the proper design of equipments and facilities. This paper looks at the flame height of propellant fires through distance measurement of experimental tests video recordings. It is found that by properly scaling the configuration variables, a simple relationship is obtained between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the event. The final result is coherent with the conclusions of previous studies involving a variety of other materials.
