24Charlie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Is there a connection between the two fires at St Mary’s in Darley Abbey and Ravensdale in Mickleover. Two fires this weekend seems odd to say the least. A disgruntled teacher who doesn’t think schools should be back? A coronavirus victim or someone who’s had a family member seriously affected by the virus who caught it from a school connection. A bunch of vandals having a laugh? Or just co-incidence?

Gaspode Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think I’m going to wait for the fire investigation folk to tell me their conclusions before I participate in pointless speculation...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sensible argument for a forum who’s sole purpose is debate. Heaven forbid a football fan being given over to speculation. Have you seriously not read any posts on any topic on this forum. It’s almost all speculation. You may not agree with the post but I’ll defend my right to speculate thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Personally I'm going to wait until a 4th or 5th 2am school fire before I even start to consider the possibility that there's a link between them. I'll make the police force one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Does everywhere have as many major fires as Derby? I mean - we seem to have several per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 They've only started happening since Chris Martin left. It's kind of clear what needs to be done to stop them, bring him back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24Charlie Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Then why let your opinion be known that you aren't going to participate in pointless speculation? Seems a bit pointless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Nationally non residential buildings caught fire 15000 times last year or roughly 2% of facilities. Older buildings are actually upto 5 times more likely to suffer. A quick glance at the Gov stats didn't show Derby as particularly different but I didn't spend too long at it. Two fires in two days in the area is not that unusual I would guess but two schools does seem a bit incredulous. However they were not new buildings, old heating systems suddenly being stressed its possibly just coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Ravensdale, but St Mary's wasn't that old - it must have been built and moved from the old North Parade site circa 2000? Can't believe it didn't have sprinklers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I went to ravensdale and my nieces went to st. Mary’s. It’s very sad if they’ve gone for good. st. Mary’s has definitely been confirmed as arson I thought. spoke to a couple of teachers after, and made realise what an absolute nightmare it will be now for parents who thought they were free from home schooling having to get back into it, until already stressed out teachers can find replacement schools for them, all while working within a bubble system. If it is arson, it’s absolutely horrendously thoughtless and stupid. I really hope they catch the rick that did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
