The purpose of this study was to create knowledge and an understanding about how schoolsand fire rescues work in two communes, Helsingborg and Luleå.

This meant that each commune seemingly preferred tokeep to themselves and lacked the desire to share information with one another. Through a literature study and the survey, the conclusion could be drawn that it is notpossible to determine why there is a statistical difference. One theory is that the statisticaldifference is due to many underlying factors that affect the outcome of the preventative work,such as, social circle, family relations and crime. The study has not taken into account whichfactors play an important role in the statistical difference, but only that there are influencingfactors.

The report further mentions how the relationshipbetween children and grownups, the presence of the emergency services, and the appearanceof both camera surveillance and combustible material play a role in the likelihood of a schoolfire occurring.
