The report is a presentation of a study of about 1000 residential fires and operations of rescue units. The purpose has been to illustrate the correlation between the environment, fire loss and rescue operations and finally to find a method to make this illustration. A large number of data (observations and estimates) which describe the environment, fire spread, smoke spread, operations and course of events have been analyzed. The study inter alia points out that the number of fatalities could have been reduced 40-50% if smoke detectors had existed and that the operation units in almost all fires were larger than necessary. One of the most interesting results is the description of the risk for fire spread as a function of time in different kinds of dwellings.
