In my head.  But it is true.  All you need to know is how many fires there are and how many buildings there are in the UK.

Is that all you need to know?

I think I know enough to reach that conclusion.  Others are free to have different opinions and offer them.  That's how FireNet works. :)

I guess there are more to take into account not just the previous fire statistics and the number of buildings, for any given building it has to have a special case study to know what's what... etc  :)

You will find an article in the February "Fire Risk Management" in which Michale Belcham as given an overview and worked example of a probabilistic fire risk assessment. Its by far the best article on the subject I have seen- even if I dont understand it ;).

This is the first time, I have heard that PRA (Probabilistic Risk Analysis) is part of BS7974, but unfortunately still under-utilized by fire safety engineering, the article of 'Belsham' is deeply focused on the original subject of this thread...,

In one side this is a good confirmation that fire safety as an engineering discipline is far yet to be an exact science, similarly to other catastroph disciplines such as 'Seismiology', 'Volcanology'..., or even 'Weather Forcasting Engineering'...
