Multiple-Fatality Fires Reported to NFIRS, 1994-1996
Each year in the United States, there are more than 2,800 fatal residential home fires. Nearly one in six of these fires is a multiple-fatality fire, a fire in which more than one civilian is killed. This report characterizes multiple-fatality fires by contrasting them with single-fatality fires. By analyzing the events and circumstances surrounding different types of fatal fires, this report provides insight into how they can be prevented and how lives can be saved. Since the majority of fire deaths among civilians occur in the home, residential structures are the primary focus of this report. Findings are based on comparisons of multiple- and single-fatality fires that occurred between 1994 and 1996 and were reported to the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
