In 2003-2006, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 31,000 structure fires in vacant buildings per year. These fires resulted in an average of 50 civilian deaths, 141 civilian, 4,500 firefighter injuries, and $642 million in direct property damage per year. Forty-three percent of these fires were intentionally set. From 2005 to 2006, vacant building fires in all properties rose 2%, while fires in vacant homes rose 11%. These estimates are based on data from Version 5.0 of the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA's) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPAs) annual fire department experience survey.
