- Abstract
- This project aims to develop knowledge about factors that lead to that some fires develop into large
fires and investigate whether there are specific characteristics of large fires in different types of
objects. The project has resulted in three reports dealing with three different types of objects
(buildings). The first report deals with fires in school buildings, the second deals with attic fires in
apartment buildings and the third deals with fires at nuclear power plants. These three reports are
summarized in this final report.
In addition to the findings related to the three studied objects, the project has resulted in a

In addition to the findings related to the three studied objects, the project has resulted in a
methodology on how statistics and case studies can be combined in a systematic way to present,
analyse and draw common conclusions of different but similar events. The methodology can be
used to find factors that contribute or lead to a specific injury or event. (Less)
