AcknowledgmentsThe United States Fire Administration (USFA) greatly appreciates the participation in the NationalFire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) from fire departments across the United States. The NFIRSdata, on which the bulk of this report is based, are available through the work of the staffs of thevarious State agencies and State Fire Marshals’ offices responsible for fire data collection, and on eachand every fire officer who fills out an NFIRS form. Without their efforts to collect data, this reportcould not exist. Although reporting to NFIRS is wholly voluntary, the information collected on fireseach year represents the most comprehensive set of fire data and statistics in the world. At the time ofpublication, over 21,000 fire departments were participants in the system; these departments addedover 1.2 million fires to the NFIRS database in the current public release files alone.The National Fire Information Council (NFIC), a nonprofit organization of State and metropolitanarea participants in NFIRS, helps coordinate and specify requirements for NFIRS and its operation.NFIC represents an outstanding example of local, State, and Federal cooperation on a major, longterm undertaking. The USFA appreciates the support NFIC has provided NFIRS over the years.The USFA also thanks the many State Fire Marshals’ offices or their equivalents for their assistancewith, and input to, the numbers of fire departments presented in Chapter 1.The report was produced by TriData Corporation, Arlington, Virginia, for the National Fire DataCenter (NFDC), USFA, under Order Number HSFEEM-06-J-0001.Copies of this report are available by writing:U.S. Fire AdministrationFederal Emergency Management AgencyPublications Center16825 South Seton AvenueEmmitsburg, Maryland 21727Documents also may be ordered on the World Wide Web: x
Executive SummaryFire departments in the United States respond to nearly 1.8 million fire calls each year. The U.S.fire problem, on a per capita basis, is one of the worst in the industrial world. Thousands ofAmericans die each year, tens of thousands of people are injured, and property losses reachbillions of dollars. There are huge indirect costs of fire as well—temporary lodging, lost business,medical expenses, psychological damage, and others. These indirect costs may be as much as 8 to 10times higher than the direct costs of fire. To put this in context, the annual losses from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters combined in the United States average justa fraction of those from fires. The public, the media, and local governments generally are unaware ofthe magnitude and seriousness of the fire problem to individuals and their families, to communities,and to the Nation.PURPOSE AND SCOPEThe National Fire Data Center (NFDC) of the U .S . Fire Administration (USFA) periodically publishesFire in the United States—a statistical overview of the fires in the United States with the focus on the latestyear in which data were available at the time of preparation . This report is designed to arm the fireservice and others with information that motivates corrective action, sets priorities, targets specificfire programs, serves as a model for State and local analyses of fire data, and provides a baseline forevaluating programs .This 14th edition covers the 10-year period 1995 to 2004 with a primary focus on 2004 . Forthe first time, only native National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) 5 .0 data are used forNFIRS-based analyses . The report addresses the overall national fire problem . Detailed analyses of theresidential and non-residential fire problem, firefighter casualties, and other subsets of the nationalfire problem are not included . These topic-specific analyses will be addressed as separate, stand-alonepublications .The primary source of data is from NFIRS . National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) annual surveyresults, mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), data from State FireMarshals’ offices or their equivalents, population
