| School FiresAccording to the National Fire Protection Association, 22% of fires in K thru 12 schools are intentionally set! Schools are supposed to be a safe haven for children and, given today's building codes, they probably are relatively safe, as compared to structures without fire retardant construction, fire sprinklers and fire alarms. However, we must still be failing to properly address the societal issues that drive children to set fires in the first place. I guess that's not news, is it? If you want some more statistics, check out the NFPA Education Fact Sheet. Mark
