Fire Station Fires. U.S. Fire Administration Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 1, Issue 19, May 2001 (Rev. December 2001)
U.S. firefighters spend considerable time living and working in fire stations. Like residential and commercial structures everywhere, fire stations are also susceptible to the dangers of fire. Between 1996 and 1998, an average of approximately 150 fires occur in fire stations annually. Although these fires represent a minuscule number of the total fires in the United States, they still cause approximately $1.6 million in property loss, which does not include the cost of replacing or repairing damaged equipment and apparatus. Further, those fire departments affected by fire must find ways to rebuild while maintaining adequate levels of fire protection to their communities. No firefighter fatalities were reported to NFIRS between 1996 and 1998. This report examines the causes and characteristics of fire in and immediately surrounding U.S. fire stations.
