Church Fires. U.S. Fire Administration Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 2, Issue 7, August 2001 (Rev. March 2002)
Each year from 1996 to 1998, an average of 1,300 churches reported a fire. These fires were responsible for an estimated $38 million in property loss, less than 5 civilian deaths, and nearly 25 injuries annually. In 1996, a wave of church arsons received attention at the federal level, and the National Church Arson Task Force was formed by President Clinton. The Task Force made the investigation of these fires a top priority of federal law enforcement. This topical report examines some of the causes and characteristics of church fires.
