                                       Decision Making In Respect Of  Fire Damaged Heritage Buildings

        Only 10% of all accidental fires see the intervention of the fire and rescue services; how can we ensure that our heritage buildings are not among them? Understanding how fires start, grow and spread will enable any fire safety intervention to be focussed on providing the most cost effective least damaging, and effective solutions.Valuable lessons from the Glasgow School of Art fire and the Clandon Park fire will be explored together with the latest fire research.
