In recent years, arson using alternative ignitable liquids such as lighter fluid have been occurring. Detector tubes utilized as on-site detection methods in Japan are specialized for gasoline and kerosene. We investigated the effectiveness of commercially available flammable gas detectors as an alternative to these methods.
