A Review of Fire Incidents, Model Building Codes, and Standards Related to Wood-Burning Appliances
As a part of the Department of Energy program to advance the technology for the utilization of fuel wood as an alternate energy source for applications ranging from single-family dwellings to apartment complexes and small industries, a review is presented of fire incidents and fire deaths attributable to wood-burning appliances. Initiated to establish accident patterns and to determine the risks involved with the use of wood-burning equipment, the survey represents a compilation of approximately 11,800 fire incidents including injuries and deaths associated with solid fuel burning appliances. In addition, a review of model building codes and of test methods currently used to test or certify wood-burning equipment is included to identify priorities for future research in wood-burning safety.
