MS23 Arson Prevention:-

Right click to download this fileMS 23.pdf
In the United Kingdom, arson is credited as the single most frequent cause of fires in buildings of all kinds. At its worst, arson leads to loss of life and significant financial damage, but persistent and minor arson can also have a detrimental effect on the economic wellbeing of communities. During the 10 years between 1986 & 1996, the number of deliberately started fires increased every year, such that in an average week in 1996, malicious fire-setting resulted in 3500 fires, 50 injuries, 2 deaths and a cost to society estimated at £25M. Historically, arson prevention was considered to be a management/procedural based activity, usually implemented upon building occupation, and it is this approach that will be discussed here. However, increasingly, designers are recognising the merits of incorporating ‘arson hostile’ features to a building during the planning stages ­ this method of prevention by design will be explored in the second part of this bulletin.
