Which factor is NOT mentioned as contributing to a building's susceptibility to collapse during a fire?

The location of the building is a factor that is typically not considered to contribute directly to a building's susceptibility to collapse during a fire. Fire-related collapse risks are more strongly associated with physical and environmental conditions that directly affect structural integrity, such as the length of time a fire burns, exposure to weather conditions (like rain or wind which can weaken structural components), and the age of the building, which may influence the materials used and their fire resistance.

While location can affect factors such as fire response times and accessibility for firefighting efforts, it does not inherently determine how a building is constructed or how it will behave under fire conditions. Therefore, when assessing fire risk and potential for collapse, the other factors are crucial indicators.
