| Abstract
| Among the overall reactions to a major fire event of importance to fire services, are three which do not mesh well: learning about the event; improving community safety; and laying blame. These reflect the efforts of coroners, the media, researchers and scientists. They fall at differing places along a spectrum of rationality. The most rational reaction, science, takes by far the longest time.
