Fire-RelatedFIRE Blacks were 3 times more likely to die from fires (3.7 per 100,000 population)than whites (1.2 per 100,000 population). Fire-related injury hospitalizations had the longest average hospital stays (10days per visit) and the highest average hospital charges ( 61,000 per visit) amongall injury hospitalizations.Fire-related injuries and deaths occur most often as a result offires in private or public buildings, however, such injuries mayalso occur under other scenarios such as forest fires, or ignitionof clothing or inflammable materials. Injuries from certain typesof burns, such as scalds, were not included in this report due todeath coding system changes.Deaths from FireA total of 375 Georgians died from fire during 1999 to 2001, anaverage of 125 deaths per year. Victims were disproportionatelyelderly, with 34% being older than 65 years of age. Sixty percentwere male and 52% were white (Table 12).Table 12.

Profile of Injuries in GeorgiaThe death rate from fires in Georgia has been consistently higher than the death rate in the United Statessince 1979. Both the national and state rates decreased from 1979 to 1998 (Figure 30). From 1999 through2001, if the death rate for fires in Georgia had been equal to that of the United States, an estimated 42persons per year would not have died from fires (Table 1).Figure 25.Figure 30.

Fire-RelatedHospitalizations from FireThere were 1,171 hospitalizations in 1999-2001 as a result of fire-related injuries (an average of 390hospitalizations per year) resulting in an average 3,840 hospitalization days and nearly 24 million in hospitalcharges per year. Although fire accounted for only 1% of all injury-related hospitalizations, the averagefire-related hospitalization lasted twice as long and cost 34 times more than other injury hospitalizationsin Georgia. Of those hospitalized from fire-related injuries, 67% were males and 58% were whites (Table13).Table 13. Number of Hospitalizations by Age, Race and Sex:Fire, Georgia, 1999-2001Table 11.

Profile of Injuries in GeorgiaFire Related Injury Prevention StrategiesAppropriately placed and maintained smoke detectors in homes,emergency fire exit plans, and fire extinguishers are provenways of reducing death and serious injuries from residentialfires. Other measures of reducing fire-related injuries includeenforcing existing building fire codes, and placing matches andlighters out of the reach of children.Injury Prevention Programsfor Fire Related InjuriesThe Injury Prevention Section of the Department of HumanResources, Division of Public Health, supports a multi-facetedfire prevention program that includes the identification of highrisk neighborhoods and resident education on the risk factorsfor residential fires. The Program stresses the importance ofhaving a family evacuation plan in case of fire and coordinatesand leads the installation of smoke alarms in homes withoutadequate smoke alarm coverage. The program conducts followup visits to continually monitor the effectiveness of the programs.Neighborhoods selected for the program typically include low-income households with large numbers ofchildren or elderly residents and with old structures that can be readily consumed by fire. Firemen andvolunteers are responsible for the residence inspection and keeping records as to where the detectors areinstalled and providing follow-up visits. The program is sponsored by grants from the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention and the Georgia Fire Fighters Burn Foundation. National SAFE KIDS estimatesthat 60 is saved for every dollar spent on a smoke detector. Since its inception in 1999, the ResidentialFire Prevention Program of the Injury Prevention Section has documented 83 cases whereresidents were alerted to evacuate in time by smoke alarms installed through the program.Fire Prevention ResourcesNational Fire Protection aspNational SAFE KIDS Campaignhttp://www.safekids.org/tier2 rl.cfm?folder id 171Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundationhttp://www.gfbf.org/U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissionhttp://www.cpsc.gov/spscpub/pubs/fire sfy.htmlU.S. Fire Administrationhttp://www.usfa.fema.gov/public/44
