RRFSO and the licensing act

[Chris Houston]

I never accused anybody of porkyfying the facts nor that schools are not a problem but anybody who says that they have evidence of what the next major life loss fire will be is obviousely full of Cattle manure.

OK point taken, it would of course require mystic meg to know that exactly.

[Martin Burford]

Chris.not Mystic Meg..... but that well known clairvoyant CFO Phil Toase, West Yorkshire, as reported in IFE Journal February 2006, page 33.  perhaps if I asked him nicely he would share these documents with us all ?

Perhaps he could tell us what next week Lottery numbers are too.

The lottery is easy Brian.

14million to 1

But the odds for fire deaths are much more difficult to sort out. Fairly easy for domestics but for assembly, commercial, institutonal there are too many variables- deaths should not occur at all due to passive / active  measures, as we know it takes a combination of failures to lead to fire deaths in these circumstances. Or hostile action.

Nobody predicted Dunblane but in hindsight it was inevitable, sometime somewhere. 9/11 and 7/7 were similar. In the same way perhaps Phil Toase is trying to raise awareness for that which is currently unthinkable-  we dont want to be forced into improving the dire standards in many schools as an act of hindsight.

right on man

[Martin Burford]

KURNAL afraid your wrong about the lottery....14m:1 is for the jackpot.not the other, lower prizes!

[kurnal]

Ok Conq you got me this time. But I bet whilst you can tell me how many people are killed or seriously injured in house fires you cant tell me how many have minor burns!

[Martin Burford]

Hi kurnal.............not I can't....but I can tell you that according to stats [ 2004] injuries from  fires fell by 6%, to 16.300.........a rather more important figure, I believe.

Philip Tose leads with the Editorial in the just-published 'Fire Prevention & Fire Engineers Journal' (June 06 issue) on this very topic. He argues that there is an increasing number of fires in schools due to arson and eventually this will result in loss of life. The present government is planning a major rebuild of schools over the next 10-15 years, and he suggests that sprinklers should be incorporated in all these new schools as its cheaper to do so in a new building rather than retro-fitting.
