Abstract | This report provides fire departments, federal and state governments, and others active in the fire protection field with information which can be used to improve the efficacy and targeting of fire prevention programs. As a byproduct, it illustrates ways that state and local governments might analyze their own fire problems. The report describes the magnitude of national fire problems in terms of number of fires, deaths, injuries, and dollars lost. It also describes specific characteristics of the fire problem, such as who the victims are and what the causes are of fires in various types of property. Although some suggestions for reducing the fire problem are included, the reader is encouraged to formulate his own plans. (This is the first report in what is planned to be an annual series.)
