ABSTRACT:
A flame deflecting device for mounting on a building exterior comprises a panel which is attached by hinges at its lower end to extend upwardly along the face of the building between windows at different levels. A releasing device, preferably actuated by flames from the lower window, releases the panel so that is falls to extend substantially horizontally to deflect flames, escaping from the lower window, from the upper window thus retarding the spread of fire while allowing the fire causing the flames from the lower window to rapidly burn out. The releasing device may be a heat destructible fastening element holding the panel against a compression spring on a stud fixed to the wall of the building.
