This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residential portion of the fire problem continues to account for the vast majority of civilian casualties. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates show that, while residential structure fires account for only 25 percent of fires nationwide, they account for a disproportionate share of losses: 83 percent of fire deaths, 77 percent of fire injuries, and 64 percent of direct dollar losses. Analyses of the residential structure fire problem were published formerly as a chapter in each edition of Fire in the United States. The most recent edition of Fire in the United States, the fourteenth edition published in August 2007, featured an abbreviated chapter on residential structures. This full report is the most current snapshot of the residential fire problem as reflected in the 2005 National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data and the 2005 NFPA survey data. In this report, as in previous chapters in Fire in the United States, an attempt has been made to keep the data presentation and analysis as straightforward as possible. It is also the desire of the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to make the report widely accessible to many different users, so it avoids unnecessarily complex methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. This report is based on 2006 to 2008 data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). According to the report, an estimated 28,000 vacant residential building fires occur annually in the U.S., resulting in an estimated average of 45 deaths, 225 injuries, and $900 million in property loss. Vacant residential fires are considered part of the residential fire problem as they comprise approximately 7 percent of residential building fires. In addition, intentional is the leading cause of vacant residential building fires which are more prevalent in July (9 percent), due in part to an increase in intentional fires on July 4 and 5. Finally, almost all vacant residential building fires are non-confined and half spread to involve the entire building. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Home Structure Fires written by Marty Ahrens and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NFPA estimates that U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 366,600 home structure fires per year during the five-year-period of 2007-2011. These fires caused an estimated average of 2,570 civilian deaths, 13,210 civilian injuries, and $7.2 billion in direct property damage per year. Almost three-quarters (71%) of the reported home structure fires and 84% of the fatal home fire injuries occurred in one- or two-family homes, including manufactured homes. The remainder occurred in apartments or similar properties. Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries. Smoking materials remain the leading causes of home fire deaths. Half of all home fire deaths result from incidents reported between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. One-quarter (25%) of all home fire deaths were caused by fires that started in the bedroom; 24% resulted from fires originating in the living room, family room, or den; and 16% were caused by fires starting in the kitchen. Three out of five home fire deaths resulted from fires in which no smoke alarms were present or in which smoke alarms were present but failed to operate. Compared to other age groups, older adults were more likely to be killed by a home fire. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA's) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) annual fire experience survey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NFPA 101: Life Safety Code® (www.nfpa.org/101) defines a residential board and care facility as "an occupancy used for lodging and boarding four or more residents not related by blood or marriage to the owners or operators for the purpose of providing personal care services." During 2006-2010, an estimated 1,920 structure fires in residential board and care facilities were reported to U.S. fire departments each year, with associated annual losses of 10 civilian deaths, 62 civil injuries, and $8 million in direct property damage. Cooking equipment was responsible for four and out of five fires. Only 11% spread beyond the object of origin. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA's) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association's (USFA's) annual fire department experience survey.

Download or read book Nonresidential Building Fires written by United States Fire Administration and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates for 2006, there were 111,500 nonresidential structure fires. These fires resulted in 85 deaths, 1,425 injuries, and $2 .6 billion in direct dollar loss. Although nonresidential structure fires represent only 7 percent of all reported fires and account for just 3 percent of fire deaths and 9 percent of fire injuries, they account for 23 percent of the dollar losses from fire nationwide. Residential fires account for the majority of injuries and deaths and outdoor fires account for the majority of fires. Nonresidential fires, by contrast, tend to be the most costly fires per incident. Analyses of the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data on the nonresidential structure fire problem were formerly published as a chapter in each edition of Fire in the United States. In this report, as in previous editions of Fire in the United States, an attempt has been made to keep the data presentation and analysis as straightforward as possible. It is also the desire of the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to make the report widely accessible to many different users, so it avoids unnecessarily complex methodology. Because it takes over a year to collect data from all participating States and a year to verify the collected data, this analysis, largely undertaken in 2008, used the latest full year of data available at the time, 2006.
