Three possible fire sce-narios have been created and more extensively evaluated through computer simulations and calculations. The scenarios have been created by using a worst-case scenario approach and relevant statistics. Each scenario includes a study of the fire and the evacuation. The report results in a number of improvements to be performed at Societets Restaurangen with the aim to make the public safety level more satisfactory. Some of the most important improvements are to create a new emergency exit, broaden the existing emergency exits and change the present fire alarm sections.
