Great Britain. The idea of organization the Arson Prevention Bureau was stimulated by a Home Office crime prevention initiative. A wide range of interest groups provide a core team of coordinators to improve the attack on arson and get it more publicity. This organization coordinates research and controlling arson. It draws on international participants and already has produced many valuable ideas and data.
The Netherlands. Because the accidental portion of the fire problem has been reduced so much, arson is the leading cause of fires in the Netherlands.
There is little residential arson for fraud. Most arson that occurs is vandalism. There are few personal attacks using fires for revenge or maliciousness in the Netherlands, unlike the United States where that is a growing problem.
There is no arson unit in Amsterdam or other Dutch fire brigades. If a fire is suspected to be arson, it is turned over to the police. There is always police contact with the fire brigade at a fire.
Increasing losses from arson have caused insurance companies to step up their attack on arson. Pamphlets have been prepared for reducing the risk of arson in the occupancies most at risk, including schools, warehouses, large markets, and clubs. Insurance companies slow down payouts when circumstances are suspicious. A special instruction of private companies says that the residents should preserve evidence. Also, a report was written on how police can gather better evidence. It encourages gathering data such as the cash flow situation of the business burned, the time of day, and any related things of suspicious fires.
For arson involving dwellings the widespread agreement was on increasing security against intrudes in the house.
For arson involving school, the consensus was to educate students on fire safety.
For industrial arson, there was consensus on several areas:
1. Police-fire insurance cooperation.
2. Building security (controlled admissions; to know who is in the building).
3. Built-in fire protection systems (such as sprinklers or detectors).
4. Intrusion control (such as burglar alarms or window bars).
5. Better fire investigation and prosecution.
6. Good labour /management relations, so that employees do not cause fires and so that they cooperate in fire safety measures.
7. Good housekeeping.
8. Good reporting of fires to the central information registry.
Most of these ideas require further education of residents and industrial enterprises on the arson problem and what they can do about it.
