Fire prevention at the new Christ Church School

DEAREDITOR, Fire science mandates four fundamental elements topropagateafire.

Theyarefuel-materialto be burnt; oxidizing agentgenerally oxygen in the air; heat-heat energy to initiate t h e r e a c t i o n ; a n d propagation-material to allow the fire to spread beyond the initial fuel Eliminationofanyoneofthe fourforegoingelementswill PREVENT a fire The article headlined, New Christ Church school to include fire prevention system, (Demerara Waves,

Thursday, 8 June 2023) neitheraddressednorrelated to the elimination of any of the four (4) foregoing elements. On the contrary, it mentionedinstallationoffire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and use of some materials that were not highlyflammable.

Those all fit into the categories of fire extinguishment, fire alarms and notification, and fire suppression, but not FIRE PREVENTION!

I bring this to the attention of the Ministry of Educationinordernottolull the occupants of the school into a false sense of FIRE SAFETY

Yourssincerely, AbrahamDavid
