Rural and Non-Rural Civilian Residential Fire Fatalities in Twelve States
The results of an analysis of fire causal factors in over 1600 fire fatalities are presented. The primary emphasis is on the identification of fire causes leading to demonstrated high fatality rates in rural areas. It was found that the most significant rural fire fatality cause was heating equipment, with improper installation and misuse of solid fueled heating equipment predominating. Other fire causes making significant contributions to high rural fatality rates were also investigated and documented. Additional data are currently being collected to enable further evaluation of rural fire problems.
