An analysis of hospital fire reports.
All fires notified from one English Regional Health Authority for a six-year period were analyzed using a method developed by the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at Edinburgh University. Three of the important factors in fire safety--control of the fire, evacuation from threatened areas and the prevention of ignition--are evaluated and recommendations are made with regard to them.
