No we don't want to torch our school! why would we want to do that when it is the best one in our area? if we did we would have to go to one of the other crap schools instead and not do so well in our GCSE's.

Well if you promise to be good...

Try this website full of stuff on arson prevention in schools.

Of course some fires aren't started by kids. In which case you can think of anything hot next to anything that burns

Coats left on heaters, badly maintained boilers, Light fittings that go wrong, mad chemistry teachers etc.

Students

You still haven't said exactly what the gcse work is specifically looking at other than how fires start in schools and work places. As others have indicated the most likely cause of a school fire is arson. The Arson Prevention Bureau have produced some research on school fires and guidance on how to reduce the risk. They have also produced other documents on commerical fires and how building design can reduce the risk of arson. I think you can down load or order from their website - link below. The ODPM produce statistics on all fires attended by the Fire and Rescue Service and the link is also below. There is also a document on the ODPM website which gives information on the economic cost of fire which may be useful for your project.

Again if you can be more specific about what you are doing I'm sure someone here will be able to point you in the right direction.

good luck

The Arson Prevention Bureau have carried out research into school fires.

student type people - ODPM stands for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister - bit scary isnt it!

good look with your studies, follow the links you have been given and it WILL help. also contact your local fire service (or fire station) they should be able to point you to more local info

thank you everyone for your help...we cant be very specific about the infomation we need as our guidelines havent really specified to us what we need...all it says is 'Research how different fires may start at school or in the work place.' we have to find out 'the type of fire', 'description (e.g how does fire start, relate to the fire triangle' and 'sepcific example in school lab or place of work'....
if you can give any more infomation we would be very grateful...
