    Is the area of the fire correct? A 100 square metre fire is about the floor area of two terraced houses. Perhaps a zero has been missed out.

    They’ve started early this year. A fire engine visiting my school and telling us that it cost £400 for every call out prevented me from even thinking of setting things on fire for fun.
    £400 in the late 80’s, I can’t even imagine the cost now.
