ABSTRACT

Train stations and airline terminals, may be considered prime targets for attack because their facilities serve large numbers of people in relatively small enclosed spaces that are easily accessible and often centrally located. While stations and terminals are designed to be fire resistant, they are still vulnerable to arson attacks ignited from accelerants (flammable substance used to increase the spread of fire) brought into the station or from incidental materials such as garbage, vendor goods, and passenger baggage within the station.
