What are the biggest fire risks in schools? | Fire Safety in Schools | iHASCO

Every year, fire costs the UK over 8 billion pounds and takes around 350 lives. There are more than 1000 fires in schools every year, with the serious ones costing up to 3 million pounds each in damages. The biggest fire risks to schools include arson, building combustibility, poor housekeeping, poor smoking controls, a lack of fire detection, and a lack of fire protection - including not having a sprinkler system.

And there are more than we can account for, as many fires in schools go unreported to the fire services, particularly if they have burned themselves out or if a member of staff has extinguished them. The leading cause of fire in schools is arson. In fact, over half of school fires are started maliciously. Fires are often started out of school hours in the late evening, and outside of the premises - with materials that are close at hand. It’s common for arson to take place when buildings are unoccupied during the school holidays, but it can happen during school hours too. Aside from the financial costs and the risk to life - fire can cause long-term disruption and damage to the lives of staff and children, including their education. It can destroy school records, school work and teachers notes; it can affect morale and feelings of safety; it can impact exam results and it can lead to bad publicity. Classrooms and community facilities can become unusable for long periods and many classes may need temporary accommodation whilst rooms are rebuilt, or entire schools can be destroyed. Whole communities can be affected. And of course, the most frightening thing of all, is many many innocent lives are put at risk.
