Research 4

I saw a relationship with alcohol and fires. People who were over the legal driving limit of alcohol were likely to cause a fire.

I am aware that the smoke of a fire can kill you, not the actual fire itself. Carbon monoxide is produced in the smoke, when your blood contains more than 50% of carbon monoxide levels, it is considered life threatening.

Research 3

I wanted to pin point what actually causes fires. The top answer was, unattended cooking. However the place where most fires are caused is in the bedroom. This is because other factors such as an unattended candle, or electric blanket, or a child with fire, which would make up the high percentage of bedroom fires.

Research 2

I thought there would be a relationship between what days and what times there would be fires. The most fires are caused on Sundays, and 72% of fire calls are made at night, between 7pm and 7am

Research

Just researching the lower socioeconomic groups and fire. The most fires are caused in the socio groups of the deprivation index decile of 6 or higher. However there are some other groups that have other deprivations such as physical modility.

This graph shows what causes a fire, and who is at risk from the hazard event.
