There have been a lot of well reported fires lately. But arson is far more common than most people would imagine.

Hi

Not a good joke UJ.

A Molotov in a loo would have no effect, you would have to expose the wiring first.

A Molotov in a shop or coffee bar, yes, enough inflammables.

Re: Big Fire at Nottingham

Just my point Swim, there are not many combustible materials in a toilet, unless they are introduced by someone.

Which brings me back to the fire in the multi story car park. I agree Joe, with the addition of vehicles it would increase the combustibility of the car park assuming it was full. But the spread of the fire was frighteningly rapid considering there would be several empty spaces separated by several floors, and destruction was total.

Hi

Very astute of you OGF, Nottingham had just undergone a £50 million refurb, it could not have happened with an incidental fire.

You have my highest regard.

Re: Big Fire at Nottingham

They have said they are treating it as arson, but haven't heard any more yet.
